Ok, sorry. The Explorer window appears on booting. I
have checked the registry HKEY_Local_Machine and
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Run and RunOnce, the
StartMenu Startup folder, and the Win.ini file for
something that may be causing it to open expanded on
booting, but I don't see anything. Any other ideas?

(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".

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,
