I've said it before and I'll say it again:
A user should only use msconfig for troubleshooting problems, although it could be used for stubborn programs until you find a way to disable them otherwise.
Click Start > Run, type in: msconfig and hit enter.
Click on the Startup tab and uncheck the program you wish to disable.
If the program adds a new second entry on reboot, then there is probably a way in the programs options that will disable it.

Right click on the programs icon in the systray to see if there is an option to disable it from loading on boot.

Open the program/s in question and check their options to see if they have one to disable it from loading on boot.

Remove any entries from the Startup folder that you do not want to load on boot.

Uninstall the program you don't want loading if out of other options.

Look in the Registry under these keys to either remove the entry or comment it out to disable it from loading on boot:
Start > Run, type in: regedit and hit enter. Navigate to the following keys:
hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run
hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\current version\RunOnce
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\RunOnce
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\RunOnceEx
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\RunServices
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\RunServicesOnce
