c:\ directory opens on startup

Recently, the "c:\" window directory opens on startup or restart. When this
problem first began about a month ago the "c:\windows" directory would open
on startup, now just the "c:\" directory opens. I have tried many
things...from spyware removal to uninstalling programs that were install
prior to this occurrence. I have analyzed my startup files with many of the
popular startup managers...dug into the registry, etc. Has anyone had this
problem and found a fix for it? Thanks.

Look in the various Startup locations for command lines as described he

"To resolve this issue, delete the DesktopProcess value from the following registry
key:

At the ball, That´s all - Way out West

Commence advancin´
commence advancin´
just start a prancin´
right and left a-glancin´
a moochee dancin´
slide and glide entrancin´
You do the tango jiggle
with a Texas Tommy wiggle
Take your partner
and you hold her
Lightly enfold her
a little bolder
Just work your shoulder
Snap your fingers one and all
in the hall

Lyrics T. Marvin Hatley

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
