I have the same problem with the MSN guy, and I have already tried your
suggestion Anita, but I still get the icon showing that I am not logged on.
There is nothing in the startup file that can be removed - I have tried
everything. I am using Win. ME.  I'd like to know how to get rid of him too,
he's annoying.
