isn't it [start] -> [run] -> "msconfig" ?
Works for most versions of windows, but not 2000

And if you find that it's starting up anyway because it rechecks the box on its own (more and more programs are having that little feature written in now that users are learning how to use msconfig), open the program itself and look for an option to disable "Load when Windows starts" or "Load on startup" or something similiar in the program's Options or Preferences.
