AOL Instant Messenger problem

How can I keep AOL Instant Messenger from popping up every time I open my email program or Internet Explorer. My kids use the thing, but I hate it. In its "settings" there is nothing set to open when opening email client or web browser.

I hate the stupid thing!

Go to MS Outlook, turn off "Automatically Log onto AOL Instant Messanger" under General Options. Then go to AOL Instant Messanger, go to Preferences, and uncheck "Make AOL Instant Messager my default messanging program".
