Default strange- Publisher opens on startup + standby

Everytime I start XP or open up the laptop and it comes off of standby Publisher starts AND Publisher tries to insert a picture from my in-built camera. So i have to look at myself, cancel the insert, close Publisher, click 'no' to saving- EVERY TIME. There's nothing in msconfig-startup, except one suspiciously blank entry at the top.

Any ideas why my computer loves Publisher so much?

Thanks

I am sure that Ankur meant "welcome back"

Anyways, did you also check Start > Programs > Startup?

The simplest tool is startupcpl free from Mike Lin's Home Page

Install that and it will show you everything running at startup you simply untick anything you dont want
