"My Computer" pops up after log in

[Guest snakeboy]

A "My Computer" window opens every time I log in. Is there a way to stop this?

Tthe problem may be caused by spyware but also check for a possible shortcut

in the Startup folder in Start Menu. Also check msconfig for unknown startup

processes and the Run Keys in the Windows Registry. Start Button\Run\type;

'msconfig' and hit Enter, check the Startup tab and uncheck all processes

except for the antivirus and the Office shortcut bar. Start Button\Run\type;

'regedit' and hit Enter, browse to the Run keys on both HKCU and HKLM

branches of the registry, and delete any registry value other than the

antivirus and Windows applications.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And install an antispyware or scan the system if you have one installed.

 

There is a fix at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm - Line 260

right column. The fix is for folder System32 openning but it also applies to

My Computer.
