Adobe reader X removing from start up on windows 7

Hello
I am wondering how to remove these programs when my computer starts up?

Adobe Arobat
Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manaager

These programs are good. I just don't want them to start up when i boot up my computers. Any help would be good and appreciated. If there is a link in the forums and can send me that way it would be great.

sorry i forgot the most important part. The option i am talking about is in your system configuration under the tab startup.

What happens when you uncheck the items on the Startup tab?

As an alternative to Adobe Reader, which has become bloatware, there is Foxit Reader. You will need to delete their crap browser toolbar under Uninstall a Program after installation but that is the only drawback.

Last time I installed it, you could opt out of the toolbar installation during a custom install.

I installed it not too long ago doing a custom installation and did not see that opt out. Either way, you don't have to live with their toolbar.

uncheck and apply, restart. If that don't work you can download a copy of ccleaner and use their startup utility found under tools and theirs do not require a re-start. I use ccleaner for these types of tasks.
