Start > Run > "msconfig" (without quotes
 ) I recommend sticking to the startup tab as messing with the others can really mess things up.

It also wouldn't be a bad idea to check the Startup folder by going to Start > All Programs > Startup.

It's generally best to configure it in the program itself whether you want it to start on boot up or not, but if you want to do it manually, the msconfig command that Hi Ho suggested worked for me - go to the startup tab from there, and bingo.

That's one of several reasons I refuse to install Real Player and Quicktime Player. They run things in the background that can't be stopped by MSconfig and are buried deep in the options.
