Windows Explorer start every time XP starts

[Dan]

For the admin user, a windows explorer session starts
every time I log into XP. It is pointed to the
c:\windows\system32 directory. There are no refrences in
the startup menu, autoexec.bat, config.sys or System
Information Start Up Programs. There do not appear to be
any registry entires calling explorer.exe either.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dan Peters.

Hi Dan,

In addition to Rick's great advice.....

This is a known issue for owners of an SB Audigy 2 sound card. Re-enable
the item in MSConfig.

Then see www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 260, Left column for a
small utility that will correct this for you. The problem is caused by a
leading space before the /L:ENG. This cause the problem, the script
corrects it.

Kelly,

Thanks for the great advice, I do have the SB Audigy 2=20
sound card. You were 100% correct and it was as simple=20
as removing the leading space before the /L:ENG registry=20
entry.

Sincerely,

Dan Peters.
