I have WINXP Home Edition
Whenever I startup my PC, "my documents" opne up too.
I have tried looking everywhere including registry
but it just keeps on coming and opening up.

You probably need to be a bit more specific so that everybody trying to help
you does not waste their time duplicating what you have already tried. It's
pretty obvious that if you had looked "everywhere", you would have found it,
fixed it, and the problem would not be posted here. Tell us where have you
already looked, and then we will suggest more places.

Is it fair to assume that while looking in all these places, you were not
only looking for a "My Documents" reference, but any reference to
"Explorer"? The XP default Explorer shortcut opens to My Documents.

does that mean it can't be fixed short of re formatting
my hd and starting again.
Is there anyone else who can help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:
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,
