An easy way to modify programs that launch on startup is to go to RUN and type "msconfig"

The last tab in the window has startup applications with checkboxes to turn them on and off.

When you next start your computer, it will say that you used msconfig, and if you want you can check a box on that window to not show that message when your computer starts, otherwise it will keep reminding you. The more permanent and risky way is to use regedit
