You can resolve the problem by disabling the startup
programs.
1. Click Start and select Run.
2. In the Open field, type MsConfig and click OK.
3. Select the Startup tab.
4. Click the "Disable All" button.
5. Click OK.
This will disable all the startup programs. Restart the
system to check if the folder opens automatically. If it
does not open, you may enable the startup programs one by
one and isolate the program that loads the folder.

Hello ,
1) 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]
2) Also check 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 | Properties |
Then click [Find Target...] to verify that the
"Target:" field is valid.
3) If everything is in order, and if you have a
"SB Audigy 2" sound card, then
