Any shortcuts or even full programs that you place inside the Startup folder will run automatically each time you start Windows. The items displayes in a particular user's Startup folder actually come from two places:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

and

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

where username denotes a your user account configured on the computer.

So, try to remove it from the above two folders.
