How do I stop PC Dock from coming up on my desktop when I start my laptop?

I have a laptop with Windows 7 and am using Internet Explorer 8. It is annoying for PC Dock to come up on my desktop when I start my computer. What do I do in order for that to stop?

You can stop programs from starting automatically by removing them from your system’s Startup List. You can access and edit the Startup List through a program called “System Configuration Utility”, or “msconfig”. To get into msconfig, do the following:


Click Start-%26gt; Click Run-%26gt; Type msconfig-%26gt; Click OK.


When the System Configuration Utility window opens, look at the set of tabs across the top of the window. Find the last tab, labeled “Startup”, and click it. This will show you the Startup List, which contains all of the items that start automatically when you boot your computer and Windows begins to load.


Now, you can remove programs that don’t necessarily need to load when your computer boots up.


When finished, you’ll need to reboot before your changes can take effect.How do I stop PC Dock from coming up on my desktop when I start my laptop?
FYI--I figured out the the Startup Item for PC Dock is ';HP Advisor';; uncheck it and it will no longer show up at startup.
