Folder open on boot-up

[johnf]

Just had a call from my sister. Yesterday I was showing her over the phone
how to copy photos from her newly purchased Kodak camera to another
location.
We went through the process of opening the My Docs/My Pictures/Kodak
pictures folders.
Now on Start-up, the My docs folder appears already open & when she clicks
on the My Pictures folder, the Kodak Pictures folder is already open.

Any ideas please?

Hi,

Try this:

Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, uncheck the line "restore previous
folder windows at logon". Click apply/ok, do not reboot yet.

Start/run msconfig, on the general tab select the diagnostic mode. Click
apply/ok and reboot at prompted.

The folder should not show up now. Rerun msconfig, put the system back in
normal mode. Click apply/ok and reboot once more. Does this help?
