Hi Rick,
The Control Panel solution hasn't solved the issue. The 'restore previous
folder....' option was already unchecked. I went through the process
anyway
but unfortunately no cigar.
Here is the other instructions you left. I've taken screenshots of the
folder and message if it will help determine the problem. Let me know
if
you
want to see them.

Hi Ben,
Try this: Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, uncheck the line
"restore
previous folder windows at logon". Click apply/ok, do not reboot yet.
Start/run msconfig, on the general tab select the diagnostic mode. Click
apply/ok and reboot at prompted.
The folder should not show up now. Rerun msconfig, put the system back in
normal mode. Click apply/ok and reboot once more. Does this help?
For most users, this will resolve the issue. For some that still have
registry damage it will not. If this is the case, could you please export
and post the contents of these keys in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do
this
one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose
edit,
it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response
to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.

The home PC opens up the graphics card driver folder, in the exact
position
as when I had it open while installing a new card. Ever since then
it
opens
it in the same position every time i start up the PC.
The work laptop just started doing it two weeks ago. It opens up a
folder
that holds contents waiting to be burnt (a folder showing the D
drive
contents). The thing is that I've now burnt those files but it still
opens
on startup and asks if i want to write these files to a CD.
Thanks in advance
Ben
Hi,
What folder does it open to? There are a couple of known issues,
and
each
opens a specific folder.

When I turn on my PC a folder automatically opens on the Desktop.
This happens everything. Its not in the startup menu, for some
reason/probelm it just opens.
Does anyone know why this happens? And, how to stop it from doing
it?
Thanks Ben
