This has been really helpful. I just started using LS last night and been reading and manipulating and undoing and redoing and reading and repeating for the longest time. I would have never thought that would be the problem especially since I'm not using any stardock problems. After reading this I went through MSCONFIG and found that my computer was starting the same thing and I'm running ME. Also I didn't keep recieving the meesage that I'm running another shell.
