My Documents

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

Since installing the new service pack 2, when I start-up
my documents opens automatically for all users. How do I
stop this? Anyone have the answer?

I've been working on this for a couple of weeks, to no
avail. One suggestion posted on this site (see 25August
post)is the download from
www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_mydocsopens.htm. When
the "script" warning appears, the responder advises to
just accept. Not knowing the true risk of this, I still
haven't fixed the problem. "My Documents" continues to
open. Perhaps we'll get an answer from your post.

Have tried the fixes, to no avail. Having difficulty
posting the log. Tried cut/paste, but no "paste" option.
Tried dragging, but messy. Ideas? Thx so much for your
help. Gail
