I had a Trojan virus. I have successfully removed it but
now when I go into any profile, my documents
automatically opens. I have
checked "mfconfig", "regedit" and everything I can think
of. It is not in the startup menu. Any ideas where this
is being loaded at startup? I would appreciate any help
on this issue. It is driving me crazy! Thanks,

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Look in the right pane for a value called Userinit. Its value should read:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

Including the trailing comma. If it reads anything else, double click the Userinit value and change it. This assumes that XP is installed on C:\Windows. If not, adjust the command line accordingly.
