i just built a new computer and fresh install of everything ive ran it for a few days and prime 95'd it for 12 hours to check the stability of it... but just today i installed a new wireless card and after installing it it causes windows to now open My Computer and My Documents on startup and locks the computer up a few minutes later
i have no idea how to fix the problem but i am certian that it is the card because when u take the card out or disable the card right as windows starts up the popups dont happen and the system is stable.
the card is the Linksys wireless n adapter

If you do see a duplicated string in there similar to the above - simply double click on the Userinit value and edit the data so as to delete everything to the right of the first comma (,). In the case above you would leave only:
C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,
Exit registry edit and reboot. No more My Documents!
I hope this is of benefit to someone in the future encoutering this annoying problem and stumbling across here in a search.
Yes, it solved the problem on my computer by deleting the duplicated string for the value of userinit under registry
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon
