Not sure I quite understand the situation, but CCleaner has a utility to look at the StartUp folder (where startups come from, of course) and the registry to see what is being run at startup, and removing these insures that you have to muck around with Task Manager > Processes less. Of course, some applications just change this back again when they are run, but on the other hand some applications will not allow you to kill them at the process or application level (AVG, for instance. Why I now have only ClamWin and Piriform scanners. I had to delete what I could of the AVG program files over several reboots to get rid of it). -Arlo James Barnes
