Hey there guys,
I've had this problem before, and I've managed to solved it before by searching this forum. But for the life of me, I could not find the solution again! Argh.

I had just recently installed Norton Internet Security, and everything was all fine, but the Common folder keeps popping up on Startup.

No, it's not listed in msconfig, and no, it's not in either of my startup folder.

Previously, I had found the answer lies in tweaking the registry. Something to do with a duplicate inetinfo registry or something. Or was it initinfo? I can't remember.

Can anybody help me out?

Much thanks.
