Whenever I log onto my username on Windows XP, a document window opens up and
it is quite annoying. I was wondering if anyone can help me? thanks
 
If it is the My Documents folder that opens on startup, see this note:

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.

Hi, Ramesh. I posted this a couple of minutes ago:

"At the startup of my new pc, the same folder window opens each time. I think
it is because I restarted my pc once with the folder still open, and now it
won't close. It's not in the startup folder or the registry (as far as I can
see). I tried ticking and unticking the option which allows you to decide
whether to have folder windows opened at startup which were closed at
shutdown.
I normally wouldn't mind this but the pc isn't even a week old so it's
annoying.
Thanks,
Frank"

You replied just there to a similar problem concerning the my documents
folder and said that the filepath below was the default, but this is where I
have my problem. I don't want this window to open at all.
Please help, Frank.
 
Which folder is opening?
