Hi,
if you open the Task manager (right click on Task bar), look across the top for 'Start up' and click it. You'll then see a list of apps which start when Windows starts, simply find the app you want and disable it starting. It will still work if you click it but won't start automatically.. :)

This is of course if you actually want to use the application if you don't then simply remove it from the Programs section. (uninstall it)
