Searched and deleted all AOL stuff,
but every time I start up, the AIM
window opens.
Don't want it, just takes extra time
to open when I start up.
Haven't been able to find it so I
can delete it!
Appreciate any tips!

Have you looked in msconfig,or startup folder ? Have you searched the registry for anything beginning AOL OR AIM ? It took me nearly a year to get rid of AOL junk.

Make sure it is absolutely gone in the add/remove programs area (On the control panel).
If it is, do a search for "aim" or "aol" and click on all files and folders.
These are the things I can think of.

This probably isn't an option for you, but there was so much s*** on my computer from AOL that I just reformatted. If you have everything backed up on a fast drive it wont take more than a day to restore the stuff you want.

Download, and run this AOL/AIM cleaner from HERE (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4535.html)
Please let me know if it works.

I can't tell you how much I loathe the bloatware and adware AOL pushes on ignorant users.
