Randy,

Open each application that loads at startup. Look for an "options",
"settings" or "preferences" tab or icon. There may or may not be an option
for "load at startup" or "load when Windows starts". If such an option exists
you can uncheck the option.

These applications load at startup because they were configured to do so. If
the above suggestion does not work for you there are other ways of stopping
or killing a process or application.

You may only wish to stop them from loading at startup as opposed to
stopping or killing them. You will then retain the ability to open them when
needed or desired.

Have a nice day.

C.B.
