Folder displays on startup

[Jeff]

Help! During startup using Windows XP one folder opens
each time. How do I prevent this from happening each time
I restart my computer?

Run MSConfig and see if something is set to start this on STARTUP.

It's the NERO folder.

Jeff,

This is usually caused by a long path or file name (has spaces in it) being
called from the Registry.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Look in the right pane for any value that references the Nero folder. If
any are found and the path and/or file name has spaces in it, then it needs
to be enclosed in quotes. Simply double click the value in question and
put the quote mark before and after it.
