add/remove programs is the proper method to remove programs on your PC.

If you want to keep them from starting up, but to remain on the PC... You can run MSCONFIG:
Note: For getting into msconfig you need to login as an Administrator Account or need Administrator Password.

Open the Start Menu.

In the search line, type msconfig and press Enter.
Go to step 3.


Open the Control Panel (All items view) and click on the Administrative Tools icon, then click on System Configuration. Close the Control Panel and Administrative Tools windows.


If prompted, click on Continue for the UAC prompt, or type in the administrator's password.

Click on the Startup tab.

If you want to get rid of them completely use CCleaner.

Open up CCleaner go to Tools->Startup and delete or disable until your heart's content. Warning: Do not just delete things willy nilly, you might actually need some of those apps starting to make things work correctly.
