Program Running Every 10 Minutes

[toddcocks]

I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. Every 10 minutes or
so, a program runs on my computer (I'm running the latest service pack
of XP) and briefly (ever so briefly) appears on the taskbar. Before I
can click on it, it's gone. I've disabled a bunch of processes
running, made sure I have nothing unusual in my startup group and still
it keeps occurring. It's a major pain because if I'm in a game, it
pops me back to my desktop. Is there any kind of log program or
windows log that I can look at to see what keeps running every 10
minutes?

Thanks!

-Todd
