   I was afraid that was going to be too easy. ;)   
      
   It isn't happening for me, at least I think not, so I can't say for   
   sure, but look in about:config. Filter for aim.   
      
   general.startup.aim   
      
   should be user set to false.   
      
   aim.mail.presence   
      
   should be user set to false.   
      
   The series of 000.aim should be user set to false.   
      
   The boolean prefs under sys.aim should be user set to false.   
      
   I can't see any others that would have an effect,   
      
   I sis notice that when I open NS7.2, I get a hidden window. It appears   
   to have no content, and I can't bring it into focus, but its there. I   
   can only see when I activate Expose and view all open windows. I assume   
   its there on Windows, but there is no way to view it.   
      
   I'm suspecting its an AIM window, waiting to activate.   
      
   Keep us posted on what you discover.
