Hi there...

Just purchased a brand new Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 a few days ago. Just yesterday I noticed that eveytime I startup and logon, (My computer) folder keeps showing up... tried everything possible, (msconfig), diagnostics, tried all scans available including MSE Full scan & MalwareBytes. No Luck!
all scans came up normal, no viral infections or malware... + tried all the registry editing available...

the only scenario that this stops occurring is by running in safe mode!

Thnx...

Did you try to create a new user account for testing? Same problem with that account? You may delete the test account afterwards (from your current account)

However, this problem only happens during the first logon after startup, if I log off and log on again it doesnt happen.
Restart the laptop and its back at logon

clean boot, same problem, all startup programs disabled, even on diagnostic startup it still shows up!
the only way to get rid of it is by running safemode!

So no startup program. So no non-microsoft service.
Only first logon after boot has the problem. All users same problem.

Correct?

My Dell desktop, running Windows 7 Professional, has been doing the same thing for over a year. I've tried everything to fix it, but it happens every time I boot up. I would love to see a solution to this!!!
