My Documents at Startup

[Guest]

When I start the computer the "My Documents" folder opens up on the desktop.
How can I stop this from happening? I looked under the startup tab in
msconfig and the folder is not listed.

Thank you

It didn't help.

He says, in his first part, that the registry will say
"C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe," and mine
says "C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,C:\Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe",
in his second part he says to check the settings under "Load" and I have no
settings set, and the utility hyperlink appears to be a dead end.

Note that Kelly is a she. You have a problem signified by the presence
of wsaupdater. This indicates spyware or the by product of removing
spyware. Modify that key so it only shows:
C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,

Then do a thorough scan for malware. Run these programs to check for
spyware/malware. After installing update them, then boot into safe mode
and run them. You should update and run them weekly.
