Mark,

I have tried your suggestion, and with all users of my computer, but it does
not seem to have fixed the problem. Any other suggestions?

Adam

Go to Start/Run, and type MSCONFIG then look at the STARTUP TAB, to uncheck unwanted, checked items

The new MS beta for Antispyware has an "Advanced Tools" menu item that allows you to identify the maker and use of items on the
Windows startup list. It's called "System Explorer"
