My Dox on Startup

[Guest]

Thanks for taking a moment to review this.

My Documents appears, full screen, at the end of my cmputer's start up.
Oddest thing. I tried msconfig, I did not see it in the startup listing
there. I poked around in taskbar properties and saw no solution there. I
looked at start>all programs.startup, not listed there.
Where do I go to turn off this annoying 'feature'?
I have run the updated version of Spyware Doctor, Spy Sweeeper, and NAV ..
found nothing in either, so I do not think this is spy or virus related.
Thank you so very much.

Hello AizAizA,
try to clean up your registry and suspisios programs in startup.
Clean all junk and temporary files from disk and then restart your computer.
I hop this will help.

Hi Don,
There is a regisrty edit on line 255 right hand side that should correct
this at the link below.

Save the download then run it. Or if you perfer to edit the registry
yourself.
(From kellys-korner.com) The automated script does the same thing.
