Windows explorer opening on start up

Comment:
When booting up my pc a windows explorer window will open for my C drive or my D drive or both. It does not do it every time but it does the majority of times. This started after having to format my hard drives due to corruption and therefore having to re-install windows me. Any help would be appreciated.
Complete with a Registry file to fix the problem if you happen to be running Version 3.0. If not, have a look at the bottom of the page for a link to a fix for version 2.5
