XP Startup Garbage Removal

[Frank Monachello]

I have 4 users set up on my XP system. When the system
starts up, I go to a login page which shows four icons,
one for each user. When I click on my icon, for example,
the start up process works fine, it goes to my desktop,
etc. however, the process includes the automatic opening
of a couple of word pad documents and an AOL instant
messenger window, I do not know how they got there and I
just have to close them everytime before proceeding with
my work. Do you know how I can clean this up and remove
those documents and windows from my startup process; (I
believe one of them was inadvertantly put there by a Dell
Tech support technician)? thanks, FM

Start, Run, msconfig. It is most likely under the startup tab, check there
first. Uncheck the boxes next to the ones you want to disable.
