You can post a screenshot using the snipping tool. Open start, type sn at the search box and press enter. Capture the screen area you want with your mouse, and save it as a jpg file. Then upload the file here using the "Manage attachements" button.
Please post a screenshot on what you see on the right pane of the Registry location mentioned above
Could you use MSCONFIG and post a screenshot of the list under Startup?
no I haven't, i will do a screen shot of msconfig and send it
here it is, hope you can figure this out
Well I was hoping id see something there that would catch my eye. Everything marked for Start Up looks legit.
Its got to be something in the registry but Im at a loss as to what if you did those checks posted earlier.
Do you remember what changes you did (ie software install, etc) before you first saw this folder open on reboot?
Here is something else to try if youd like.
If you dont already have it, download HijackThis, and install it. Reboot, your computer, and when the folder comes up, just leave it. Run HijackThis and select the first option to do a System Scan and Save Logfile. A log file will open after the quick scan. Then copy whats in the log file to a post in here.
I was trying to delete an empty folder from the desktop that wouldn't uninstall so I reloaded the program and then uninstalled it and the folder went away, it's not affecting using the computer, I'm now on a mission to get rid of it, so keep thinking, Please, you're my only option left
oh yeah, I even did a system restore to when I installed Windows 7 and that didn't get rid of it
