blank

[Jans]

Every time I start computer new empty folder " blank " appears on the
desktop.
Deleting doesn't help. Any idea how to fix the problem ?

Thanks

This can be caused by a blank entry, such as can be left behind by an
incomplete program removal, in the:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and/or
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.

Addendum - this also might be caused by an entry in those registry keys I
gave you where the value should be in quotes. In that case, look for
something with the word "blank" in it - at least I'm assuming the folder is
named "blank" from what you wrote.

Check the All Users Startup Folder, etc.

Well you do keep showing your total ignorance when it comes to Usenet.
