My documents folder opens at start up. I'v seen this now on two friends computers .After installing sp2 on XP. First I spent an hour playing
with start up ,or folder options . Then half an hour browsing Google till I found the fix! Its a reg problem heres the link:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_d...ydocsopens.htm
It works and I trust D. Knox 's advice ,but it does n't say what it fixes ? Has anyone else seen this or tryed ?
looks like it changes a few files\renames them then does something in the registry?Code:'xp_mydocsopens.vbs

Well they both had major spyware damage , so mabye thats it? I saw the info of blah, blah, blah , from his site but that means nothing to an old guy like me! :) Tell me in layman terms Rossco . :lol:
i didn't read his site just i planned to open that vbs file to see what's in it and firefox did that for me. :lol:
basically it's adding a registry thing.
Probably just a glitch in stupid microsoft's installtion program. ;)
just use that program i'd trust doug knox i've used a few of his programs they all do exactly what they're meant to.
hey peat, i know you're not a dumb guy...
so please excuse my dumb question :P
but did you check the startup folder?
M$ has a way of putting shit there that dont belong....
i seem to remember something like this happening a while back
but dont remember if it was related to SP2 or not
i know i didnt need any reg fix or anything
if i DO happen to remember (hey, it's possible :P)...
i will post it
