My Computer Window Open when computer starts on

[Guest]

hi,
uses: Windows XP with SP2;

The "My Computer" Folder opens when computer starts on. I witnessed this
problem in the newsgroups, but those didn't solve my problems. I checked the
Registry Keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/RUN
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/RUN

AND the following folders:
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{ME}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP

AND Even the MSCONFIG, but there weren't any suspicious applications nor any
shortcuts running. I dont know what causes this, but since now its
unsolveble. Can anyone Help me on this?

Open either MyComputer or Explorer.
On the Menu bar click Tools > Folder Options... > View tab.
Scroll down and uncheck "Restore previous folder windows at logon" if it's checked.
Click Apply > Ok.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the response. I did check out the Folder Options as u said, and
nothing has been changed. It remains unchecked. This behaviour was started
after i installed Mcafee. Now I've uninstalled Mcafee, however the problem
remains still.
