Since some time I noticed that every time I switch on my PC I always get
2 windows showing always the same folders.
I checked in registry
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\PersistBrowsers"
and it is set to "0"
Could please somebody tell me where else I should look in order to solve
this (very little) problem?
Thanks for your help

Look for empty entries in the Run key in the registry or also look for
shortcuts in the Startup folder that point to none existant items

Also, any subfolders in the startup folder will automatically open at
boot time.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
I completely cleared my run keys in registry and the startup folders but
nothing changed.
I renamed the 2 folders (C:\programs\skype and C:\programs\nero) and
only then I didn't get the 2 windows (and no error message either)
Of course I had to rename them to the original name and there are the 2
windows again!
