Sorry,
It is C:\Program Files\Norton
| As a starting point, what is the name of the folder in that explorer
window?

| | Apologies to Andy for butting in here but maybe this may also
| | solve his problem from another angle.
| |
| | Thorsten:
| | As I said, None of your tips somehow gave a sufficient clue but I
| | have printed them for further use. You gave Andy the same tips.
| |
| | My posting on on 28 Dec also mentioned that since I installed
| | Norton system Works the explorer screen changed from My Documents
| | to the Norton directory with a dial-up box on top of it.
| | Somehow Norton has now complicated my life even more and application
| | program writers seems to have little regard for the product buyers'
| | personal preferences.
| |
| | Jan: I need some time to digest and try out your tips.
| | I do not use an SB sound card but a simple VIA Audio Controller.
| | Not being any sort of expert, I would appreciate any help I can get.
| | I have listed the RUN contents below.
| |
| | Thanks,
| | Hans
| |
| |
| | ..CURRENT USER | RUN contains only:
| | ....messenger\msmsgs.exe" /background
| |
| | ..LOCAL MACHINE | RUN (there is no "run services" entry) contains:
| |
| | default destination: blank
| | Adaptec Direct CD ..Direct CD.exe
| | AVG_cc ..Avg32.exe/startup
| | Bootwarn ..NAV\Bootwarn\a..
| | ccApp "C:\Program Files\Common Files\
| | Symantec Shared\ccApp.exe"
| | ccRegVfy "C:\Program Files\Common Files\
| | Symantec Shared\ccRegVfy.exe"
| | Download Accellerator ..Dap.exe/Startup
| | Fixit AV ..System~1\Memcheck.exe
| | NvcplDaemon ..NvCpl.dll.Nvstartup
| | Nwiz ..nWiz.exe/install
| | Soundman ..soundman.exe
|
|
|
| | | Here is a bit more detail...
| | |
| | | -) Many items need to be checked here.
| | |
| | | _
| | | 0) What is the name of the folder in the explorer window?
| | |
| | | _
| | | 1) If you have a "SB Audigy 2" sound card, then I suggest you
visit
| | MVP Kelly's website at
| | |
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
| | |
| | | Note the instructions at the top of the page, then scroll down to
| | line 260,
| | | (System32 Folder Opens Upon Boot)
| | |
| | | Right-click the hyperlink, then click | Save Target As | to
download
| | the file, "xp_system32opens.vbs", then double-click the file
| | | and follow the prompts.
| | |
| | | _
| | | 2) If the name of the folder is "My Documents", then I suggest you
| | visit MVP Kelly's website at
| | |
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
| | |
| | | Note the instructions at the top of the page, then scroll down to
| | line 255,
| | | (My Documents Folder Opens Upon Boot (for C:\))
| | |
| | | Right-click the hyperlink, then click | Save Target As | to
download
| | the file, "userinit.reg", then double-click the file and
| | | follow the prompts.
| | |
| | | _
| | | 3) If this folder/browser window was open at a previous logoff,
| | then...
| | |
| | | In Windows Explorer, Tools-menu | Folder Options |
| | | /View\
| | | "Advanced Settings:" box
| | | [ ] "Restore previous folder windows at logon"
| | |
| | | _
| | | 4) If the folder was not open at a previous logoff, then this
behavior
| | can occur if...
| | |
| | | a null entry (such as ""),
| | | an incomplete entry (such as "),
| | | or a damaged entry exists
| | | in the values in either of these two registry keys:
| | |
| | | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
| | | SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
| | |
| | | HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
| | | Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
| | |
| | |
| | | Ensure that all paths containing "space" characters are wrapped
in
| | double-quotation marks. For example,
| | |
| | | c:\Program Files\program.exe
| | |
| | | should be...
| | |
| | | "c:\Program Files\program.exe"
| | |
| | |
| | | NOTE: To open the registry editor,
| | |
| | | [Start]
| | | | Run |
| | | regedit
| | | [Enter]
| | |
| | | REFERENCE:

| | | (System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows)
| | |
| | | _
| | | 5) Also apply the above checks to each shortcut in the Startup
folders
| | for "the current user" and for "All users".
| | |
| | | For the "current user" entries in the start menu,
| | | Right-click [Start] | Explore | Startup |
| | |
| | | For the "all users" entries in the start menu,
| | | Right-click [Start] | Explore All Users | Startup |
| | |
| | | In turn, right-click each shortcut. Click | Properties |.
Visually
| | inspect the "Target:" field as in the step (4).
| | | Then click [Apply] to verify that the "Target:" field is valid.

| | | | May I also pose a similar question please.
| | | | A few postings ago I enquired about my "post-startup screen"
| | | | but had no reply and found the answers below very interesting
| | | | and followed up on your suggestions.
| | |
| | | | I cannot however find the answer to my problem there unless I
| | | | am not recognizing the wood for the trees.
| | | |
| | | | How do I get rid of The Explorer screen that comes up after
| | | | the desktop. I just want the desktop to show after switching on.
| | | | In the files and keys below I do not see "explorer.exe".
| | |
| | | | There is no "run=" or "load" in my Win.ini and revealing the
| | | | actual names of the "run" items in the registry keys by clicking
| | | | on "modify" I do not see any relation either.
| | |
| | | | It is also not in the startup list which I can see with
Msconfig.
| | | |
| | | | Thanks,
| | | | Hans
