The easiest way to do this would be to do the following:
1. Open your Start menu 2. Select the Run command 3. Once open, type in "msconfig" (no quotes) 4. Once System Configuration Utility Opens, select the Startup tab 5. Uncheck the applications you do not want to start with Windows 6. Click on "Apply" 7. Click on "OK" 8. Restart your computer
Hope this helps.
