Having an Outlook E-mail account setup causes this since poutlook shortcut in the Windows\StartUp folder launches on boot, and because it is the only way to for the account to "live" sync (direct push).
I agree with setting the ActiveSync schedule to Manual but you should probably also remove the poutlook shortcut.
