It is an ati program but can be replaced by a virus. Make sure there is a normal icon not a generic exe icon. Check the bak folder in the ati folder. If a program is in there, it has been replaced.

Is atiptaxx.exe related to DIEmWin.exe problem?

This file is used by your system to run the ATi Control panel. it is not required for your ATi Card, but it can access certain settings that windows can not access on the ATi Card. Only remove this file if you are experiencing problems or do not wish to reconfigure the card.

This process was causing my CPU to run at 100% as soon as it loaded. Unchecking the box to disable the taskbar icon did not stop the process from loading, it only stopped the icon from appearing.

if you have an ati (radeon often) video card then you need this. If you swapped cards you should take it out of the registry if it conflicts, probably. If you don't know how to do this without creating a disaster (which is very probable if you try it without good understanding of the registry and how it works) get expert help, and they may still end up screwing you up so make sure to back up your registry first in hopes that it's not so screwed up later you can go back and replace it with the back up.

phrank is correct. pull from the system tray; it will slow your system when booting. Also ensure that is has been unchecked by going to start/run/msconfig/startup. not required.
