Each time I log into XP I get a folder open (C:\Program Files\Common\Bin)
and after checking through MSConfig I can work out why.

Does anyone know what causes this and how to stop it?

Thank you, Andrew.
 
Fractured path name. Likely you have an entry in the Registry that is not
bound by Quotation marks. The way commands are parsed, it will stop
at the first space [ ] and terminate at that point. Windows XP utilizes
Long Names such as Program Files. But commands with spaces in them
must be bound with "---- ------ --------", so the entire string can be read.
Use a program called AutoRuns from SysInternals to help locate the
improperly structured command.
