When I turn on my PC a folder (same folder) always opens on the Desktop.
This happens everything.

Does anyone know why this happens? And, how to stop it from doing it?

Thanks Ben

Create a shortcut to any folder and then drag it into you Startup
folder on your: "start button | All Programs | Startup" and it will
open every time windows starts. So check in the startup folder.

What folder is it?
There are a couple of registry edits for this problem one for the system32
folder and one for "my documents folder" here:
