My computer

[Guest]

For the last couple of weeks, the My Computer folder opens every time I boot
up. I've tried restoring back from before this started, to no effect. Does
anyone know how I can stop this from happening?

Hi,

From Kelly's site.
My Documents Folder - Opens Upon Boot

To Stop Windows Explorer from opening My Documents: Check your
settings here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

In the right pane under Userinit - Change the key that reads:

C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe
To:
C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,

And also here: Start/Run/Regedit

Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. In the right pane, check your settings
under Load.

This problem can be caused by the DlDer Trojan. More information here:

Tip: This utility lists everything that opens on startup with an undo:

It already says that.

And also here: Start/Run/Regedit

Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows

Nothing there

Ran Mcafee, but couldn't find anything. Any other thoughts?

I installed it but I can't find a setting for startup
