How do i remove programs from loading everytime i log on the computer

everytime i log onto the computer, all these programs
load up all the time, and I was wondering what i would
have to do to make some programs stop from loading?

Using Msconfig to shut off Auto-Start programs

Here are the steps:

.. Click Start
.. Go to Run
.. Type in the box msconfig
.. Click on the Startup tab at the top, this will show a listing of programs
that auto start when your computer is first booted. If you uncheck the box
the program will no longer auto start and sit in your system tray
/notification area when you boot. You'll need to reboot before this takes
effect.

Another way to do this would be to go to the program that is in your system
tray/notification area and you may find the settings to remove them from the
auto start, most programs have this listed in the properties section.

Greetings --

In most cases, with "well-mannered" applications, it's usually as
simple as opening the undesired program and deselecting the option to
"display icon in the system tray" or to "start when Windows starts."

Additionally, Look in the C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up and C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Start Up folders, and in the
system registry, primarily in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.
