Hi,
Im working on Linux machine. When I shut down my machine and then start it
the previous tasks are getting opened without my intervention. Im closing each and every
task before shutting down. Even then they are appearing when i login.
What should be done in order to ensure the tasks doesn't get opened without
the user intervention? Suggest me pls.
Thank you.

Which desktop you are using (KDE or GNOME)? Also specify your Linux distribution name.

what do you mean by tasks? what appears when you log in?
I assumed here you mean the services, like httpd (web server).
There are several methods how you can control which services will be started during boot time, depends on the level of your expertise. There are graphical tools and command line utilities. If you are using redhat distro, theres a services configuration tool, a graphical application. There's also a utility chkconfig for command line.
you may study also about different runlevel.
