Hi,

Do you get the same condition in Safe Mode?
Have you checked the entries in Start => Run and type in "msconfig"
{without the quotes} for any odd entries?
A better program to manage startup entries is Mike Lin's freeware
Starter which you can get here:

No dice, the entry is not there so the script does not work.

thanks

No it does not do it in safe mode, any ideas?

Disable all the items in MSCONFIG under the StartUp tab. Reboot. Enable one
item at a time. Reboot. Repeat until the StartUp item that is causing the
folder to open is found.

Or Export the registry entries under:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Then post your results here.

OK,

Presuming that you logged in as the Administrator in Safe Mode.
If you're using the Starter program I mentioned, go to the section
Registry => Current User and uncheck everything in there.
Restart

If the condition persists, just re-check everything.
If it goes away, start re-checking the entries one-by-one and
restarting after each to try and narrow down the culprit.

Thanks for your help, I have gone thru that already. I removed everything in
both runs and still continues.
I thought it might be viril, or spyware, but nothing in any scans.
