Hi Will,

You can uncheck them in msconfig/startup. To remove them once checked and
to remove the icon in the notification area:

Clear Disabled Items from Msconfig Startup (Line 148)

And/or...remove the runkeys from here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
--
All the Best,
