XP not saving current windows configuration when logging off

[Loochie]

Whenever I log off of XP I make sure all windows are closed. However, when
I log back on there's always one window that keeps automatically opening.
Does anyone know how to save settings so that this doesn't happen?

Hi,

Go to Start/Run and type in: msinfo32 From there navigate to Software
Environment, Startup Programs. The Command column will show you the exact
command line used.

You are looking for a listing that uses a long file name/path with spaces in
it, that is not enclosed in quotes. If found that is the culprit. Go to
Start/Run/msconfig/Startup.

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

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent
Version\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre nt
Version\Run

Look here for the program/folder in question. If listed, double click the
entry and put the full path name in quotes.

Separate Process for the Desktop and Explorer (Line 62)

If it is the My Documents Folder:

Change the key that reads:

C:\Windows\Syste32\Userinit.exe,C:\Windows\System3 2\Userinit.exe
To:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
