My Documents opens automatically

[Gary Roach]

i'm running xp home. whenever i log on, my "My Documents" folder opens
automatically. i've got "PersistBrowsers=0" and, regardless, i close it
before i log out. why does this happen? actually it just happens to be on
"My Documents" - if i change it to another directory it comes up with that
one when i log back in. why is this happening? thanks for the help

#255 on the right side...

If that doesn't fix it:

My Documents Folder Opens Upon Boot

Another checkpoint: In the right pane, check your settings under Load:
Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

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

You have a possible Lepricon infection

Do a complete Lepricons scan and sqash those tiny buggers if you have them

Watch out for the green ooze.

thanks, the kelly fix worked. it turned out there were two userinit.exe
entries in the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] key.
