Folder opens when XP starts up

G

Gene

Good day,
recently a folder on my C drive opens up when I start/restart my PC/XP
system. It is not open when I do a normal close/shut down, but is always open
when I start Windows (just like it's in my Start-Up folder - which is it
not). Where may I look to keep this from happening?
Much Thanks,
Gene:)

Check these Registry keys for entries with paths that contain spaces,
but have no quotes.

To open the Registry Editor, open the Run box and enter: regedit

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Example:
C:\Program Files\program path\app.exe /switch

Change to:
"C:\Program Files\program path\app.exe" /switch
