Mind of its own???

I have a program that I installed in the default location 'program
files', and which has its icon on my desktop display.

Every so often, like once a day or so, I will be mousing around
selecting other applications etc, and this program will suddenly start
up. I have no idea why, and no other application manifests this
oddity.

Can anyone suggest why this is happening? and how I can stop it?
Besides uninstalling it that is.

Thanks

Jethro
