After start the winnt folder is showing

When I start the computer instead of seeing my desktop it
always shows the contents of the WINNT folder? Can someone
explain how to prevent this from happening.

Try this: Go to Start All Programs Startup. These are shortcuts to some
of the programs that start with Windows. Do you see a shortcut to the Winnt
folder? Simply delete it.

Thanks for the quick response. I have tried that and the
only things in the startup folder are Microsoft office
stuff. I was hoping for a quick fix also, I am getting to
my wits end it is just annoying to have to close it after
startup.

Rocky thanks for the reply and suggestion. I have done
that this morning and the only files in the start menu
were MIcrosoft Office files. It is annoying to have to
close the screen after startup.

Go to Start Run and in the dialog box type 'msconfig' (without the
quotes), then click OK. Go to the Startup tab. These are other programs that
start with Windows. Do you see an entry for the Winnt folder? If so, you
need to remove this by editing the registry. Caution: Registry editing
allows no room whatsoever for error. Before editing the registry, always
create a restore point.

Go to Start Run and in the dialog box type 'regedit' (without the quotes.)
You need to find the Run keys. Look here for help:

"A Definition of the Run Keys in the Windows XP Registry"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...Product=winxp.

One of the sub-keys will contain the reference to your winnt folder. Delete
that subkey ONLY. Now quit the registry editor and re-start your computer.

If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with registry editing, ask a trusted
(and knowledgeable) friend to do it for you.
