I've heard that one.< s >

First, to Tamar (whom I'm ccing). I checked the tab and, Start when Windows starts, isn't checked. So I'm assuming that means that either: A.) It shouldn't be doing what it's doing; or B.) These folks need to learn the meaning of the word don't (but I haven't checked the latter).

Second, to you...blaaaaaaaaaaat < sticking tongue out >. I remember seeing this previously and thinking the above to myself.
