How can I deactivate "Groove" on my computer if I don't have administrative privileges?

Groove has been turned on in my account at work recently. It is an extra step every time I log on and I believe it is interfering with my ability to sync my iPAQ to my computer. I am not using it- and it isn't on for everyone. We are not given administrative privileges at work so I can't go into the msconfig to turn it off. It is linked to my log in so it also bothers me when I log onto other computers in classrsooms and conference rooms. How can I turn it off? If I wait for IT to do it, it will require a work order and a long wait before they send a student worker who may not know the answer.

check the startup folder in your profile and under the all users profile, possibly stored there.

There is on way to do it without Admin privelages. You'll just have to request it from IT, and then wait for them. Since they specifically linked it to your login, they probably were told to do so for whatever reason by a Manager or someone higher up in the company.
