All of a sudden for no reason I can think of everytime I start Windows XP ,a folder opens upon the completion of Bootup ? The folder is C:/Program Files /Dell ,can anyone please tell me how to stop this fron happening ? I checked folder options and did not see anything that would make this happen ,I set the folder options back to Default settings hoping that would stop this from taking place ,still opens upon statup ,I looked in the startup folder and in MSCONFIG and do not see what can be causing this ? Can someone please help me stop this folder from opening upon startup ! The contents of the folder are 3 other folders, Media Exprience -Resource CD-System Profilier ! Iam stumped as to why this suddenly started to happen ? Any help appreciated ! Thank You ,Nick
