Unwanted startup items (OS Sierra)

I have gone through the step(s) of removing unwanted startup items: System prefs -> Users and Groups, etc and removed unwanted startup programs. However, I have numerous programs that launch at login that aren't even shown there. How do I stop these programs from launching at login?

iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.1), Intel Core i7; 8GB Ram

Not yet. My nap time is usually in the late afternoon.

This was the ticket!!! Thank you. I had three programs opening when I booted up. This stopped them all.

In case my reply didn't go through, here it is again: This is the ticket!!! It worked and stopped the three programs that were loading each time I booted up. Thank you.
