Try the procedure here first:
Windows Explorer Starts When You Start Your Computer http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=228502 "To resolve this issue, delete the DesktopProcess value from the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer " Post back with your results. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.microsoft.com/communities...t/default.mspx "qwert" wrote in message ...

(1) A folder named "C:\Program" would do something like that. "C:\File"
is also forbidden. (Naturally, "C:\Program Files" is fine.) I did test it myself. A folder named "C:\Program" opens a cute little folder in the upper left of the Desktop, named "Program", at boot. When you try to delete it in Explorer, you get a second warning after the confirm of delete, saying something like "system settings (files?) may be affected". (2) http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;228502 Windows Explorer Starts When You Start Your Computer "START, Run, RegEdit", & navigate to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer & delete "DeskTopProcess" this way: (a) Click the plus signs beginning with "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" & ending at "CurrentVersion". (b) Click "Explorer" in the left pane (not it's plus sign). (c) R-Clk "DeskTopProcess" in the right pane (if there) & delete it. (d) Then close the registry editor and reboot. (Careful in the Registry, though.) (3) If those aren't it, then examine "START, Run, MSInfo32, Software Environment, Startup Programs" for an anomaly. If you don't see it, then use the Edit menu to select all & copy, & post it. (Edit the output & put spaces between the lines before posting.) One poster had a mention of "Win.ini" in MSInfo32. It turned out "START, Run, MSConfig, Win.ini tab, [Windows] section" had "run= ." (That's a period [.]). This normally reads "run=", (and "load=" is also normal). -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "qwert" wrote in message ... | I used windows registry repair pro.
