My Documents window opens on startup

[Guest]

I recently built a new machine. I took the disk from the old machine,
installed it in the new and reinstalled XP Pro to pick up all of the new
hardware settings, yet keep all of the installed software. When the machine
boots, the My Documnets folder keeps opening up. The machine has operated
fine, except for the folder opening, until yesterday. Different issue. Any
solution to keep this from happening?

Found other thread on this. Missed it on first search.

Suggestions:

Go to Start/Run/control folders/View/Uncheck Restore previous folder windows
at logon.

Other checkpoints:

Run: My Documents Folder Opens Upon Boot (for C:\) Right hand side - Line
255

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,

Another checkpoint to consider:

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to these keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If the folder in question is listed, place the entire path in quotes.
