I just have this program that starts up every time I turn
on the computer. How can I stop it from launching
automatically. It's the kzaa software. Can you please
help me out?

In this case (KaZaA - who invented their spelling of Kazaa!?) open up the
Kazaa window choose Tools -> Options and uncheck "Launch KaZaA
automatically"

Generally speaking you can either delete the shortcut in the Startup
(Start -> Programs -> Startup) folder (if it's shown there) or if you've got
the guts (do make a backup first - though if you do it sensibly nothing will
really happen) go to the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> regedit) and find
the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

and remove the application (Kazaa in this case)
