Sonu,
Your sister's profile is launching the Zone Alarm Getting Started applet.
This happens whether you configure her account as an Administrator or
limited user. There must be a reference to the Zone Alarm applet in your
sister's startup configuration - typically in the Startup folder or in the
Run key in the registry.
RECOMMENDATION:
- Log in using your Sister's account and check the Startup folder for the
Zone Alarm Getting Started applet:
Start Menu | Programs | Startup
- If the Zone Alarm applet is not in the Startup list, it may be in the
registry. Choose Start | Run |and type in MSConfig
- On the last tab - Startup, look for the Zone Alarm Getting Started item
- If you find it, uncheck it and restart to test.
- If you do not see the Zone Alarm item you can go back to the General tab
and choose Selective Startup
- Under Selective Startup, uncheck Load Startup Items. Restart to test.
- Once you identify the source of the startup item, you can remove the item
and use MSConfig to set your startup environment back to normal startup.
