this sounds a bit like you shut down the machine while those were running at some point.

try setting:

SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY,REBOOTONLY

in config.sys?

this will also get rid of Warp trying to bring back random folders or command prompts you happened to have running when you shut down
