Why's this happening?
Check your settings under: Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run or: Another checkpoint: In the right pane, check your settings under "Load": Start/Run/Regedit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows or: Start Run msconfig startup This is most likely caused by incorrect Userinit value (duplicated). On a test system, after installing SP2, the userinit value was duplicated (appending to the existing data) C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,C:\WINDOWS\system 32\userinit.exe, RESOLUTION: From previous newsgroup post by Doug Knox - MVP: Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to: HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Look in the right pane for a value called Userinit. Its value should read: C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, Including the trailing comma. If it reads anything else, double click the Userinit value and change it. This assumes that XP is installed on C:\Windows. If not, adjust the command line accordingly. "knead2no" wrote in message news Hi Group, just recently whenever I start my PC just as XP finishes booting and all the other applications are up and running I get a window open up showing the contents (as in my computer) of the C:\ drive. I have no idea why it has started doing this and cannot find out how to prevent it from continuing. It's a petty annoyance, but can anyone give me any indications on how to stop it please? Many thanks PLM |
