I have Windows XP Homw Edition. Everytime I open my account now, the folder My Documents open up automaticly. I do not want it to open up, unless I want it to. I have checked the start up folder and it shows empty. I have typed msconfig at the run box. I can not find a check mark saying to open with my documents folder. The only other place I can think of is in the windows registry. But I do not know were to go in the registry. I know if you don't know what your doing or go to the wrong place,you can ruin your operating system. Is there anyone out there who can help me. Thank you.
