not start programs when start PC on battery

I'm running Windows Live Essentials 2011. WL Mesh and WL Messenger start up every time. I'd like to disable them from starting when I turn on my laptop and I'm *not* connected to power. Thanks. This is all I need. If you run them once, they add themselves to the start list yet again, so I need something adaptive to rein them again.

It would be really neat if you could intercept the password on login - if you type in the normal password for the account, you'd get the normal startup routine you've defined. If you type in a variant of the normal password, say with a pre-defined extra character after it, you'd still login to the same account but with a different set of startup options.
