The "My Computer" folder automatically opens every time that you log on to a

Windows XP ?

 

I cheked the Reg. key - HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

for a value of Userinit. Its value is = C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

 

I checked the knowledge base and tried to solve the problem. The KB

describes the cure like this:

Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\Advanced

In the right pane, right-click PersistBrowsers, and then click Modify.

In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type 0 under Value data, and then click

OK.

 

But I could not find the "PersistBrowsers" in the same way as it decribed.

Please help me...

    Do you see it listed in your Startup folder?

    Open a run command and type in:

    regsvr32 /i shell32.dll click [OK]

    Reboot your machine, does it help?

     

    System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows

    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

     

    This can also be caused by Blank entry in the Run at Start Up and causing

    the system32 to start up and not pointing to a correct path or app.

    Open a run command and type in:

    regedit.exe click [OK] and locate these two Keys:

    [-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run =

    Delete any Empty entry like this "/" or " ".

     

    [-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run =

    Delete any Empty entry like this "/" or " ".

    Line 255 - My Documents Folder Opens Upon Boot up

    Line 260 - 2nd column = System32 Opens at start up:

    RE: My Computer folder automatically opens every time...( + Addition)

    Sirs, I could not resolve the porblem. I experience this problem after I

    uninstalled Pando and some other softwares and used CCleaner, a registry

    cleaner (but I think it is relaible). I have Spyware Terminator, the spy

    bloker installed in my system.

    Please post your valuables...

    Thank you all.
