When I reboot my machine Word shows in the Processes list of Task manager. I noticed this just a few days ago. There's nothing in the Startup folder to make it open.
Do you have Outlook installed on your machine? If so is Word set as your default email editor within Outlook? If it is then Word would show as 'winword' in 'task manager - processes'. You would need to change this setting in Outlook to prevent it starting Word.

Thanks for the reply, aich69, but I use "Microsoft Outlook Rich Text" as the format and the check box to "Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages" is not checked.
