folder opens on startup

[Henry Bolton]

Hi

Im running XP Home. Whenever I boot up the machine a
folder opens in windows explorer automatically. I can
obviously close it and continue as normal but I would
like to stop it. I have checked in 'Start up' folder but
this (as I suspected) only contains programs.

Can anyone help to stop it appearing?

Thanks.

You don't say which folder?


Check:
Start/Run/control folders/View/Uncheck Restore previous folder windows
at logon
