Guest Ronaldo Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Re: "My Computer" pops up after log in 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. Microsoft's article on the problem - http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q170086 ------------------------------------ "snakeboy" <snakeboy@discussions.microsoft.com> escribió en el mensaje news:E1BCF715-3AEA-49DA-9928-9D860DFBF7FC@microsoft.com... >A "My Computer" window opens every time I log in.
