Documents folder opens at login

[Kurt]

For some reason, the Documents folder opens automatically
at login. I close the folder properly before shutdown,
but the folder opens at the next login.
Is there a way to disable this?

I'm having the same sort of problem, just a different
folder. My System32 folder opens at startup. If anyone
knows how to fix it, post please.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Look in the right pane for UserInit Its value should read:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

Including the comma at the end. If it doesn't, right click the UserInit
name and select Modify and change it. The above assumes that your copy of
XP is installed in C:\Windows If it isn't, then modify the entry above,
accordingly.

Hi Kash,

See if this helps/applies:

This is a known issue for owners of an SB Audigy 2 sound card. Re-enable
the item in MSConfig.

Then see www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 260, Left column for a
small utility that will correct this for you. The problem is caused by a
leading space before the /L:ENG. This causes the problem, the script
corrects it.

If this is not the case, see:
