Folder Opens

Upon starting my computer, a folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat
opens, and stays opened until manually closed. It started after
downloading some Adobe Acrobat Professional updates from the Adobe
website.
How can I stop this?

Thanks

When this happens, there is usually a start up entry in the Registry without
quotes wrapped around the entry and has /spaces/ in the path. I would look
at
these keys:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Example entry:

c:\program files\program name\program.exe /switch
should be corrected to as:
"c:\program files\program name\program.exe" /switch

In your case look for a similar but not necessarily the same registration
entry like:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\programs.exe
and correct to:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\programs.exe"

Notice the quotation marks added.
