There's a possibilty that the program could be starting in the registry. Be sure NOT to mess with this if you don't understand the registry! Run regedit at the run line and look in
My computer\hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current_version\run

It may be starting there at which point you could delete the key.
DON'T DELETE ANYTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS.

go to start and run and type in msconfig. This will open the system configuration utility. Click on the start up tab and this will give you a list of the different apps that are set to start up on windows startup. Find the app in the list and uncheck it then click ok to save the changes. You will then be prompted to restart the pc. This should resolve your problem.
