explorer opens install program?

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

Every time an explorer window opens, be it internet or windows, the install
program for Money starts up. Any ideas how to stop this?

The problem is when I click on a desktop icon to open a window, not when I
try to install something.

I DID look at them. The first one is for not being able to open installer
programs. My problem is that installer for Microsoft Money opens every time
an Explorer window opens. The second one gives a download, which I downed
and ran, but it only showed the programs I currently have installed, and gave
no instructions other than "causes permanent changes". The third link
doesn't work at all. And to make matters worse, now my laptop is doing the
same thing, just trying to install a different program, not Money. Maybe I
have a virus, but my pccillin doesn't find it....
