control your startup programs

Most quality software give you the option to allow or prevent the program to run at the startup,

but if you can't find the option there:

click Start---> Run ---->type: MSCONFIG.

Go to the Startup tab, and uncheck the unwanted programs.

some times if the program's own option is activated, the program will re-create the autorun entry.

or you can use an external software, there are some free wares:
