Guest carlos Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Dear All, Every time the computer boots something in the registry causes a "My Computer" window to pop up It's not in win.ini system startup etc as I disabled all in msconfig.exe and still the "My Computer" window pops up It's not in the usual places like Run, RunServices as I searched with nothing to find. I want to track down in a log file what activity takes place in the registry as the computer is turned on so that I may find what is causing the "My Computer" window to pop up. Thanking you in advance, Carlos.

Check the properties of the shortcuts in the Startup folder, in the Start Menu. Also run Regedit and look in the Runonce keys. -- Joe =o)
