Default Why does my computer....

.....open up the My Documents folder whenever i switch it on?

I turn it on, it loads up, and always opens up My Documents. Its not in the startup bit or anything, so its got me stumped!

Did you close it down with 'my docs' still open? I am having the same problem,every time I fire up my docs are open, I put it down to the above.

Run out of ideas to fix it now as well

Not sure mate, cant remember any of my pcs ever doing it to be honest, but its an easy fix as above, just make sure you dont change the wrong thing, because you can easily do something wrong(probably should have mentioned that earlier)

There was nothing in the msconfig bit, so I ran through the first suggestion, and it worked a treat!

Thanks
