This morning about four times so far. I erase the three screens each time

From what I can find MS evidently has stopped supporting XP long ago. I
don't know who to turn to.

Can anyone help!

I'm not getting a match on that in Google.

Is that the exact text string ?

For example, I can find a "Welcome" screen like this one,
but the wording isn't the same, as it's "Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP".

And I can find various ones for "Internet Explorer".

Some Welcome screens come about, from install activity.
Maybe an installer thrown into a Startup folder could do it ?

If you could get control-alt-delete to work, perhaps you
can use Task Manager to list the current processes and
spot the one responsible for your blue welcome window.

I think the message is "Welcome to MSN Explorer".

Isn't that just for MSN subscribers?

After you mentioned MSN, I recalled a prior thread where I mentioned the
MSN service and MSN Explorer. Yep, it was Ken asking the same question
back on 6/27 titled "Stopping MSN Explorer from popping up every day".
That was a month ago. He didn't provide screenshots or answer questions
back then. I knew this sounded familiar, and same guy asking, too.
