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

Every time that I boot up Windows, a cmd.exe window automatically opens
up for just a few seconds and then disappears. I would like to know
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.

Try running Autoruns to see what's opening at start up.

To make the display a bit easier to read set the
'Hide Windows Entries' under options and rescan.
