Comment:

When I boot my HP laptop running ME, windows loads and automatically shows the C:\ by opening My Computer. I have disabled the start menu programs, looked in msinfo, msconfig and regedit(i looked in all the: *.keys\software\ms\windows\current version\run...etc...etc...) but cannot find where the operating systems' instructions are for this event to take place....any ideas?
thx
Danny

Do you have Norton Personal Firewall or Norton Personal Internet Security?
