I am using Windows 7 Home Edition SP1, 64-bit.

Every time that I boot up Windows, a cmd.exe window automatically opens

what causes that...

These is no cmd.exe in
c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Wind ows\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup, so if anyone knows how to track down what
launches this cmd.exe window I'd be curious to know too.

Do you have an ATI/AMD graphic card?
If yes, that's what the cmd.exe is at startup.

I think you left out a few too many details.


I have an ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series card on my system and at startup the
cmd.exe box "which is called from the accelerated video" appears:

HKLM:Run AMD AVT Microsoft Corporation Cmd.exe /c start "AMD Accelerated
Video Transcoding device initialization" /min "C:\Program Files
(x86)\AMD AVT\bin\kdbsync.exe" aml

That's why I asked if the OP has an AMD/ATI card, if yes that's probably
what the OP is seeing.
