Good afternoon:

Instead of messing with the registry why not just load up AIM itself if you look in the "setup" options/button  there should be a check box to load on startup...  just uncheck it from there....

if that doesn't work you may have to dig deeper into the registry for other Run* sections  that maybe using it to load up

Hopefully that helps some
