I know how to go into the boot utility in msconfig and turn it off from there but everytime i open AIM to talk to my family and restart AIM triton auto starts again. I can't seem to get it to stop auto starting. Does anybody know where to shut that feature off. TNX!!!!!!!!!!

It's in the options menu somewhere, AIM tends to call it "Performance" or something.

You can try removing the registry key for it, go to START--->RUN, type "regedit", then find the key path called: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

In this key folder, there should be one for AIMTriton or something like it. Delete it and it shouldn't autostart again. Of course, this may not prevent AIM from auto-inserting a new key every time you launch it. But it's worth a try.

WARNING: Don't mess with the other keys/values unless you know what you're doing. You've been warned!

Top of your buddy list window: Edit > Settings > Sign in/Sign out > Uncheck the box that says "Start Aim when Windows starts."
