I have a new computer with WinXP pro/media centre.

Every time I start up in the morning a
window called "C:\Program\Common" appears which I
then have to close.

Is there any way to stop this window appearing.

Please help, Frank
 
Frank, is there anything in that folder?
The name C:\Program Files\Common Files is standard but
C:\Program\Common is not.

Having a C:\Program folder has been a problem since Win95.
You might get around it by correcting any poor quoting of folders in
Startup.
Check in Msconfig for any oddities.
(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)
If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then:

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.
