I have made a program that starts when the computer is turned on, but I need to edit it. Any way I can stop it?

You can terminate a program by holding Ctrl-T for a couple seconds, or you could put a disk drive down next to the computer with a disk containing a blank file named "startup", then reboot the computer.

The computer first checks for disks in disk drives with a program named 'startup'
If it can't find that, it runs the startup on the computer itself.
Though when the one from the drive is run the one on the computer does NOT get run.
You can also navigate to your world saves folder, find the 'computer' folder, and locate the number that corresponds to the ID of the computer in question.
You then you could use an external program like Notepad++ or Sublime Text to edit it.
Obviously this method requires access to Minecraft's files, if you are doing this on a server, it won't work.
