"My Documents" automatically opens on boot

[gail]

My Doc auto opens on boot - have reinstalled o/s to no
avail. Can close, but annoying. Help?

Gail,

From previous newsgroup post by Doug Knox - MVP:

<quote>
Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Look in the right pane for a value called Userinit. Its value should read:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

Including the trailing comma. If it reads anything else, double click
the Userinit value and change it. This assumes that XP is installed on
C:\Windows. If not, adjust the command line accordingly.

If that does not help, see what startup applications are running. Get the
Autoruns utility (as they call "superset of MSConfig") from
www.sysinternals.com and inspect the startup programs.

Ramesh - I've tried everything you suggested, but aftering
downloading "autoruns" and examining the auto-run
programs, I cannot identify "My Documents." Any ideas what
to do next?

Gail,

Post the Autoruns log here. (File > Save As)

Without "attachment" option, how do I post the log? Have
tried copy/paste, but no paste option. Thx for your help.

Pls see 26. Aug discussion of same problem. Is it safe to
ignore A/V warning re script?
