"About Windows" popup box after each user logon

After every user logon my laptop with Windows XP SP3 displays the About
Windows popup box (same popup box as if you would select Help/About Windows
in Windows Explorer). I am not sure how I caused this to be happening. Could
anyone please tell me how to get rid of this popup. It is quite annoying.
Thanks...Michel.

See if this applies, Michel ... Open the Keyboard applet in the Control
Panel and click the Key Settings tab at the top.
Under 'Description' check to see if any Key Name is set to
About Windows. If you see that setting click on it, click the Edit key,
then put a tick where it states " Disable the use of this key "
and then click the Next button.
