Guest christsw Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 I recently built a new machine. I took the disk from the old machine, installed it in the new and reinstalled XP Pro to pick up all of the new hardware settings, yet keep all of the installed software. When the machine boots, the My Documnets folder keeps opening up. The machine has operated fine, except for the folder opening, until yesterday. Different issue. Any solution to keep this from happening?

Guest Kelly Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: My Documents window opens on startup Suggestions: Go to Start/Run/control folders/View/Uncheck Restore previous folder windows at logon. Other checkpoints: Run: My Documents Folder Opens Upon Boot (for C:\) Right hand side - Line 255 http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. In the right pane under Userinit, Change the key that reads: C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe To: C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe, Another checkpoint to consider: Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to these keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run If the folder in question is listed, place the entire path in quotes. -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm Is it October already?
