SP2 causing Explorer window to...open?!

Guest

I recently installed SP2 on my XP Pro computer. The install went fine, at
which I was relieved (it took down the server at work...a nightmare), but
afterwards I noted that each time a user logs in, an Explorer window opens
showing My Documents, which of course bogs down the whole login process a
bit--this is a pretty slow computer we're talking about. I've searched
through the Startup menu and the autorun lists, and found nothing that wasn't
there before SP2 was installed. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I checked there, and it was the same list I'd checked before. Still nothing,
although I did uncheck a few other things I don't use anymore. :)

Go to Kelly's site, click on "M" and scroll down to My Documents for
causes and resolutions. This doesn't have anything to do with SP2, per se.

OK, I've tried that, although instead of that first registry value reading
"C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe" as the second part, it read
"C:\Windows\System32\wsaupdater.exe," and in the second registry key
referred to, "load", there was no value. The link to the anti-trojan tool is
broken.
I should note that due to installation issues, I was forced to choose
C:\WinXP as my Windows folder instead of C:\Windows.

Well, I'll see how that goes!
