I guess you are talking about thgtaskbar.exe. This is part of the
overlay handler mechanism.

thgtaskbar.exe updates the files .hg/thgstatus (and indirectly
.hg/dirstate) inside repositories, which are needed by the shell
extension overlay handler to display the overlay icons.

The overlays are part of the shell extension. You can remove the shell
extension feature in the installer if you don't want it. But then you
loose the context menu as well.

If you do install the shell extension (the feature is selected by
default on install) but you do not want the overlay icons, you can
disable them in the explorer context menu by selecting TortoiseHg ->
"Explorer Extension Settings". This pops up the "TortoiseHg Shell
Configuration" dialog:
http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/manual/1.0/explorer.html . Remove the
checkmark at "Enable overlays".

But after having done so, it then will still continue to start
thgtaskbar.exe on login though (I guess we probably should remove it
from autostart in that case then, hmm).

To disable thgtaskbar.exe from autostart at login you could use the tool
"Autoruns" from Microsoft Sysinternals:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

Select the tab "Logon" in Autoruns und remove the checkmark from the
entry "TortoiseHgRpcServer" (the entry with a turtle icon under the
heading HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run -
or without the Wow6432Node part if you are on a 32 bit Windows).
