    "My documents" folder opens at user logon

    After the recent install fo the new windows service pack 2 every time I log onto any of the user accounts on my computer the related "My documents" folder opens on top of the desktop. Is there something that needs to be removed from the startup script?
    thanks in advance for your help!

    See if this helps:

    My Documents Folder Opens Upon Boot

    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

    also found this post:

    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:

    <quote>
    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.
