Hi Ted,
Try this:
Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, uncheck the line "restore previous
folder windows at logon". Click apply/ok, do not reboot yet.
Start/run msconfig, on the general tab select the diagnostic mode. Click
apply/ok and reboot when prompted.
The folder should not show up now. Rerun msconfig, put the system back in
normal mode. Click apply/ok and reboot once more. Does this help?
