Windows 8.1 Folders are automatic open

veasnayim · Aug 28, 2014

Dear All,
I am using WIndows 8.1 on laptop. 3 months a go, it was nice no problem at all.
Later on, A few days ago, My sister download something and i didn't what happen but just when i got that laptop back, and i work with Windows and I open folders and after i turn machines off.
When i turn it on, the folder i were open (10 folders) are starting up open too.

I tried wih server virus as KaperSky, Bitdefener, Avast, Avira, Malware byte etc.. but they still not help.
Any idea please?
Thanks

This probably wasn't a "download of something" - this is a "change in settings". In the Windows Explorer, look for FOLDER OPTIONS and you can use those checkboxes to adjust these. (I forget the name of the option to change that - sorry - it will take some experimenting and imagination. I don't know why Steve Ballmer didn't just use the "Screw up my settings" checkbox instead. Then I could easily remember to uncheck that one.)

Hey Christinebcw,
What is considered it to be virus attack because i didn't change everything in Folder Option, and that why it appear Folders last open always run when i start window.

I did it in Folder option and now it work as normally

Thanks for your take care time.

I don't know of any software that, when it's installed, would change that option. Could be, I suppose. More than likely, some User was trying to rearrange Sort order or Picture sizes and accidentally clicked the "Screw this up for me" option! That's why I thought this wasn't a "download of something" rather than a "settings" change. Probably an errant mouse-click...
