Not really. When your grandson uses it, it will be loaded. It will just not be active when you sign on. When something is listed in the Startups, that means it's being preloaded awaiting usage. In practical life there is very little difference one way or the other. There are very few programs that need to be loaded at startup (e.g. security).
