Windows XP My Computer/My Document open up automatically

[tech guy]

Hello Guys !!!!


Several times, when i start up my PC, i find that My Computer/My Document open up automatically. I want to remove this problem from my system and don't want these Windows to open automatically unless and until needed.

Is there anyone who can help me to repair this issue.

Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the forums

Can you open up the Start > Programs menu and take a look in the "startup" folder? Are there any entries in there? It could be that a My Documents folder shortcut has been created there by accident, loading it each time your start your PC

Also, if you run "msconfig" and click on the startup tab, are there any entries relating to My Documents there?

Actually, ignore the steps above for now as this seems like a more likely culprit (it may also appear in SP3, which I guess you have):

Hi....
