Every time I start my PC up the "My Documents" folder opens automatically,
how can i prevent this from happening.

Phil,

From a previous newsgroup post by Doug Knox:

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.

If that does not help, see what startup applications are running. Get
the Autoruns utility (as they call "superset of MSConfig" ) from
www.sysinternals.com and inspect the startup programs.
