SPAMCOP User,
I have only one account on this computer (home) but created a new account
and the same folder launched after startup.
I right-clicked Start and selected Properties but the Taskbar properties
opened, so I selected "Open all users." Then I double-clicked on Programs and
went to "startup" folder but found no entries for Microsoft, just "Microsoft
Office" and "Windows Search"
Thanks for the tip on QuickTime and Adobe Reader. I actually had those
turned off with OneCare's startup manager but since I uninstalled it to
install Microsoft Security Essentials.

Hi elmo,
Joe, dude, I think you nailed it! I added quotes to the path, rebooted and
the Microsoft folder did not launch! Awesome!
Thanks for your assistance. Much appreciated.
