C:\Program Files\Common folder - opens on startup?

My PC has a new development since applying SP2. When I start windows, now
it opens the C:\Program Files\Common folder. Any guess on what is causing
that?

Hi boe,

That may be due to an entry in the registry that has a long file name or
path, and the entry is not enclosed within quotation marks. Open the
registry editor (Start>Run key in regedit then click on OK or hit ENTER).
Navigate to each of the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Look in the right-hand pane, under the Data column, for an entry that begins
with C:\Program Files\Common files
If found, right-click the entry under the Name column that corresponds to
the entry under the Data column, and select Modify. In the Value data field,
enclose the path in quotation marks.Click on OK, then close the registry
editor.



Regards,
