Thanks for all the great leads.  I do not have any files or alias in
either the Startup folder or the Server folder.  However the problem
is sporadic, and I know all windows and applications are closed prior
to shutdown.  I am accumulating cache files in the trash.  I just
started watching it, but so far they do seem to correspond to the
times when Files open at startup.

I am running Network Assistant but I haven't noticed any of the
symptoms that you describe.  Just occasionally refusing to copy an
item to a particular machine, or saying a file already exists on a
machine when I can't find it.
