Windows Startup

[Randy]

Every time I log into any user account the same Windows
Explorer view keeps popping up right after login. I keep
closing it and exiting the login so it saves the settings
and it just keeps coming back.

I looked under all startup options for all user accounts,
including 'all users' and there is nothing there.

Anyone know how to permanently stop these annoying
windows from opening on every startup.

Click Start
Click Run
Type control folders and press enter
Click View
Click Restore Defaults ( This will remove the option for restoring previous
window at startup)

Hello Randy,

Windows Explorer view?

Thanks I appreciate the commands, but, this does not get

rid of the Windows Explorer window that keeps opening
every time I log in to any of the user accounts. I even
verified the Restore Previous Window option was
unselected, and it is unselected. Any other thoughts?

It's opening a folder view for ATI. Which started,
miraculously, after I installed ATI's graphics card
drivers. For some reason after the reboot it keeps opening
this particular folder view in Windows Explorer. It
happens no matter which user id I log into.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello Randy,

Many items need to be checked here. Please keep a record
of all the settings that you check, as detailed below.


1)- Open the registry editor,

[Start]
| Run |
regedit
[Enter]


- Export the following two registry keys using
File-menu | Export |,
and save those files as "HKLM.TXT" and "HKCU.TXT".

"HKLM.TXT":-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

"HKCU.TXT":-

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run


- In the values in both registry keys Check for:

+ a null entry (such as ""),
+ an incomplete entry (such as "),
+ or a damaged entry
+ all paths containing "space" characters to be
wrapped in double-quotation marks. For example,

c:\Program Files\program.exe

should be...

"c:\Program Files\program.exe"


2)- Open a text-editor, such as Notepad.

- Check each shortcut in the Startup folders for
"the current user" and for "All users".

+ For the "current user" entries in the start menu,
Right-click [Start] | Explore | Startup |

+ For the "all users" entries in the start menu,
Right-click [Start] | Explore All Users | Startup |


- In turn, right-click each shortcut,

+ then click | Properties |,

+ then copy the text in the "Target:" field to the
clip-board, and then paste that to a text document
in the text-editor.

+ then type in a short comment to identify that short-cut

+ then click [Find Target...] to verify that the
"Target:" field is valid.


3) If you are unable to resolve the issue, merge the
three .TXT files and *_paste_* the contents into your
reply. Please do not "Attach" this file, because it
will not appear on the web interface.

Jan
