I switched from AOL dial-up to SBC DSL. Some programs (Southwest Ding & Quicken) keep trying to launch Aol?

Either uninstall the program or look to see if AOL still lingers on the system. I would just uninstall it, being and ex Aol customer and a high level computer tech, I have to say you are going to have so many problems with your system. It would be best to back up your data and reinstall windows. Trust me AOL doesn't want to be an ex customer they will plauge you until you do it.
