Everytime I reboot, Windows Explorer pops up. I did not see it listed in
msconfig but did find it listed in autorun.exe and unchecked it. But it
still pops up.
 
On Explorer, Tools menu, Folder options, View tab, unselect "Restore previous
folder windows at logon".
 
Check these Registry keys for entries with paths that contain spaces, but have no quotes.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

Example:
C:\Program Files\program path\app.exe

Change to:
"C:\Program Files\program path\app.exe"
