Go into the Start menu, go to Applications* and then Startup. 
There'll be an entry for Freenet.  Right click on it and Delete.  The
decision to load Freenet on startup is when the installer says "Create
shortcuts" or some such, and it gives you a check box.  (Yes, it's
unintuitive.  I don't suppose you can hack Windows installers?)

* Or whatever it's called where the shortcuts for all installed programs go.

By the way, an entry in the Startup folder in the Start menu is how
most Windows programs load on startup.  The well-behaved ones anyway. 
The less well-behaved ones can be assassinated by typing "msconfig" in
the Run dialog.  Freenet is well-behaved in this respect.
