Run your mouse over them...If you aren't using them...right click and say not to run at start up..

But If I'm not using..I usually uninstall.....thanks

Hope it helps
Thanks, I thought of that before, but when I right click on them, I have the option to "exit". But then they just run again when I restart the computer. Another problem is I am not sure what some of these programs do, and whether I need them running or not.
