 When you install VPOP3 it asks you whether you want the Status Monitor to run for all users, or only for the currently logged in user. Depending on the option you choose, VPOP3 will start the VPOP3 Status Monitor either from the current user's Startup group, or from the "All Users" Startup group.  If you install VPOP3 twice and choose different options on the two installations, you can end up with the VPOP3 Status Monitor being started from both Startup groups.
-To only have one VPOP3 Status Monitor running, you need to remove it from one of the Startup groups, by going to Start -> Programs in Windows. Depending on your version of Windows there may be two separate Startup groups, or both might be merged. You need to remove the VPOP3 Status program from the appropriate Startup group.

-In Windows XP, Windows shows a 'merged' Startup group in the Start -> Programs menu. This means that it will only look as if one copy of the VPOP3 Status Monitor should be being started, and you can't easily remove just one copy from there.
+From XP onwards, Windows shows a 'merged' Startup group in the Start -> All Programs menu. This means that it will only look as if one copy of the VPOP3 Status Monitor should be being started, and you can't easily manage both copies from there.
-To fix the problem in this case, go to My Computer -> C: -> Documents And Settings -> (currently logged in user) -> Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup, and delete the link to 'VPOP3 Monitor' in there.
+Before continuing, choose whether you want Status Monitor to start for all users, or just the logged in user.
-There should also be a link in My Computer -> C: -> Documents And Settings -> All Users -> Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup - leave that copy of the link there, unless you don't want the status monitor to start automatically at all.
+  - Go to Windows Start menu -> All Programs
