It had nothing to do with Startup or config.sys or anything like that.
I run a program in the background, which loads at startup, called
"Barclock". it is a small app that sits in the top right of the screen and
is a 'reminder' type program. You program into it upcoming birthdays,
appointments, things to do, etc. At the appropriate time it either plays a
sound and puts up a message box, or.... and here it is..... runs a program
of your choosing.

There are a number of options with this prog. if you check the "Run program"
box you must then specify which prog to run. I must have accidentaly checked
this box without realising it. I usually only check the 'Play sound and pop
up window' box. I found that the 'Run program' box was checked alright, but
no program was specified, so the computer simply ran a prog of its choosing
(whatever it was. i still can't figure out which one it ran!)
And I had programmed it to run at 5.45am each day. There is another box
which also says "Display on startup if missed", this was also checked.
And as I usually boot up after that time each day, it ran the program.

So there you have it, mystery solved.

Many thanks for your time and effort.

Cheers
Craig
