Am getting Windows Explorer launching upon startup to the path C:\Program
Files\ATI.

Checked the Start > All Programs > Startup & nothing in there to indicate
that.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Start, Run, MSconfig, Look there in the startup tab for something
started in the ATI folder.
 
Thank you for the response, sir. Was actually something else.

Figured it out this morning. Somehow the value for a registry key in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run got changed.

The key for ATIPTA value got changed from
"C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel\atiptaxx.exe"

to

"C:\Program Files\ATI" Technologies\ATI Control Panel\atiptaxx.exe

So Windows was just throwing an Explorer window up & opening to the
C:\Program Files\ATI directory.

Appreciate the response!
