OK - I've just tried to cause this and I've a couple of ideas:

1) There is a rogue file in Tasks somewhere - but you've already removed
those so...

2) In !Boot.Choices.Boot is a file called 'Desktop' (which I think is the
file John meant).  Load it into your favourite Text Proggie and look for
any files which begin Filer_Run or more likely with simply a filename.
eg. 'ADFS::HardDrive4.$.Temp.Crud' Try commenting this/these out - DONT
DELETE them!  (to comment just add a '|' - left hand Shift plus the button
on the right of it) at the beginning of the line.
Hope that helps,

Rey
