Windows always boots into Windows Explorer

I don't know why my machine started behaving this way; whenever it boots I
end up with windows explorer open. It is not in startup; I ran msconfig and
disabled everything and it still comes up. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

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

Create Separate Processes for the Desktop and Explorer

Separate Process for the Desktop and Explorer (Line 62)

Go to Start/Run/msconfig/Startup.

If this is the case go to Start/Run/Regedit:

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

Look here for the program/folder in question. If listed, double click the
entry and put the full path name in quotes. And Verify that all the values
in these keys do not contain any incorrect, incomplete, or null entries
(such as "").
