View Full Version : C:\Program map opens at startup

An irritating phenomenon occurs at upstart: The map
C:\Program opens. I have deleted everything in my Startup
folder, but this does not help. When I stop my computer,
a diaolog window prompts me to stop explorer.exe
manually, maybe this has something to do with the upstart
problem. Anybody know something about this?

Thanks,
Inge

Hi Inge,

Go to Start/Run/control folders/View/Uncheck Restore previous folder windows
at logon.

Create Separate Processes for the Desktop and Explorer

Separate Process for the Desktop and Explorer (Line 62)

Go to Start/Run/msconfig/Startup.

If this is the case go to Start/Run/Regedit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

Look here for the program/folder in question. If listed, double click the
entry and put the full path name in quotes. And Verify that all the values
in these keys do not contain any incorrect, incomplete, or null entries
(such as "").
