Doug... follow these instructions carefully if you're comfortable editing the registry. If not, get a friend who is okay with it:
Click the "start" button, then "run". In the box that pops up, type in "regedit" without the quotes. When the editor opens up, click the "+" plus sign next to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE". This will expand the keys under it. Do the same on "Software", then "Microsoft", then "Windows", then "CurrentVersion". These are all sub keys that will appear when you click the "+" plus signs next to the keys I mentioned. Under "CurrentVersion", there will be a key named "Run". Click this key once to highlight it. This will show you the entries on the right-hand side pane. I'd bet there is an entry there to run MSWorks. Click this entry once to highlight it, right-click while your mouse is over it, and choose delete. That will fix you up.
Print these instructions out for reference. And be very careful, as you're in the guts of the operating system. Only delete the MSWorks entry under the "run" key.
I am not encouraging you to do this unless you are comfortable editing the registry!
It's not really a hard job, as long as you don't mess with any other data keys in there.
