SP2: Windows Explorer opens on login

[Guest]

Every time I login to any account after installing SP2, Windows Explorer
opens to My Documents. Doesn't seem to do any harm, but it's really annoying.
Anyone else see this?

From previous newsgroup post by Doug Knox - MVP:

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Look in the right pane for a value called Userinit. Its value should read:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

Including the trailing comma. If it reads anything else, double click
the Userinit value and change it. This assumes that XP is installed on
C:\Windows. If not, adjust the command line accordingly.

If that does not help, see what startup applications are running. Get the
Autoruns utility (as they call "superset of MSConfig") from
www.sysinternals.com and inspect the startup programs.

I also deleted wsaupdater.exe from the win32 directory. Seems to have worked
like a charm, thanks!
