1. Delete the shortcut from your windows\start\startup folder. You've probably
already done this.

2. In notepad, open your autoexec.bat file and eliminate the command lines
leading to the progs.

3. Look in these spots inside the Registry.  Before you alter the registry,
though, make sure you have a good backup copy.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices

Since the apps you're referencing, it may be located in this spot of the
registry too.

HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings


Hope this helps.
