Explorer brings up network share at startup
Hi,
I have a peer-to-peer network with Me and 98se. When I reboot the Me machine, an explorer window appears with my network share on the 98 machine. This only happens on the Me machine. What really gets me is if I hold shift while logging on, the share doesn't show. This led me to believe that there is something loading at startup that brings up the window but sure is not in the startup folder or in the all users startup folder (there's nothing in that one) because if I disable those thru msconfig and log on without holding shift, the window still appears. I have gone through every network setting I can think of and tried various combinations with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas. TIA. Dave |

That's a bit hard, most stupid things it does are related to the keyboard

Dave Run msconfig, click the Startup tab, and un-check any item that refers to the 98 machine or that has a blank or invalid command. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
