start up menu

Each time I start up my MacBook, I get other unwanted / unneeded programs opening up. (Pod casts, Apple Music, etc. I have followed instructions of how to find the start up menu, (system preferences,, users and groups, and it shows my ID as admin). But there are no apps listed for me to opt out of. When I click on the "dog house" labeled log in options, I get how various users need to log in, but nothing showing the start up list or allowing me to stop apps from starting unbidden.

So, did I take a wrong turn somewhere, misunderstand directions or am I stuck with Music, podcasts, etc. starting up and then needing to be individually closed?

thanks, that seems to ave worked. The simple solutions are usually best!
