a widow pops up whenever I open IE, "Cannot find
'file///C:Program%20Files/AOL%20Toolbar/welcome.html'. Make sure the path or
internet address is correct." This message appears twice and then IE will not
go to my home page unless I click the 'Home' button. I Have already
uninstalled everything that has to do with AOL, is the something that I need
to turn off that is still trying to access it?

Stop using that shortcut or fix it. ; }

Otherwise to avoid that symptom you could Run... (e.g. press Win-R
and enter)

iexplore.exe -nohome

Hint: click the Stop button or press Ctrl-t to get out of the NoHome state.

I'm suggesting you open IE without a Home page as a test just in case
your Home page is part of the problem too. Alternatively, you could
use Internet Properties to make your Home page about:Blank
and then just Run... iexplore.exe without any command-line switches.
