The first thing I would do is:
Go to START
Go to "Control Panel"
Click "Switch to Classic View" near upper left, unless already selected
Go to "Administrative Tools"
Go to "Services"
Make sure the offending file isn't being started as a service
Then I would:
Go to START
Go to "All Programs"
Go to "Accessories"
Go to "System Tools"
Go to "System Information"
Expand "Software Environment"
Click "Startup Programs"
Get rid of any startup programs you don't need to start automatically
