Stop Programs From Loading

For instance knotify, sendmail (I use SMTP witih Kmail), kwrited (I know what kwrite is but what's kwrited? And why is it running when kwrite is not open?). I am fairly new to Linux, I can do most things like install programs with no problems, write simple scripts, and perform most sysadmin stuff with some help from google and here but I still have a lot to learn.
