Just bought a new emachine with windows xp on it. My question is each time
she logs on AIM and aol explorer 9.0 launchs automatically. How do I stop
these programs from starting automatically at start up?

Simple solution:

Pesky Startup Apps:

MSCONFIG (as has been implied) will do it eventually. This is simpler from
years of experience.

There should be settings for startup options in both AIM and AOL. Check the
"preferences" settings of each program.
