re: Unwanted windows at startup

I had this problem - nothing I did would get rid of the stack of windows which opened
at startup, but this works fine for Windows Me (not sure about other platforms).
I used the excellent Autoruns utility posted in one of the responses here, and found
that a program called STATEMGR.EXE was loading on startup - this looked like a likely
candidate for the problem, so I deleted the file and removed every reference to it
in the Registry, and hey presto! No more annoying windows! I did this a week ago,
and so far no problems.
Hope this helps.
