Disable Folders after every Start up.

Dennis

XP Pro

Every time I start XP, two folders always launch via Windows Explorer.
I close them down each time but they always re-open at startup.

They are:

Program Files\Common and
Program Files\Norton


I checked the Registry for ,,,,,,,,,\Run and .....Startup
Also I checked all (I think) Startup folders

In addition, I tried MSconfig to no avail. (I may not perceive someone else's "obvious")

This started when I installed (yesterday) Norton Systemworks Pro 2004.

Where in the Registry could I inhibit these folders from opening?

TIA Dennis
 
Dennis, try going to Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and uninstalling
Norton. Restart and reinstall
but pay attention to where it places startup files.
