On start a window of Windows Explorer appears

[AdrianK]

Hopefully somebody can help me with this "error". Since some weeks a
window of the Windows Explorer (location - My Documents) appears when
I start Windows XP. There is no entry in the Start Up menu though.

What do I have to do to fix this?

Adrian,

Download this utility free:

Click the LOGON tab. Do you see this entry in either of the 2 RUN keys? If so,
untick it

If not then it's possibly running on Winlogon. Click the WINLOGON tab & check
there

When you restart hopefully it's stopped it. If so, delete the entry that you
unticked above

Please post back
