i see alot of people sugesting you use msconfig,  its better to go into the aol program and find a settings menu, in there should be an option to disable that. if you have vista and you use msconfig you get a popup telling you windows disabled programs on startup, it gets annoying

No.  Don't do that.

On the bottom, right side of your screen you will see the AOL icon.  Right click on it and go to the start up settings and just change your preference
