Hi all,
I have a problem always once I start my computer. Every time, My Computer window shows up.
I have checked Startup folder and the registry and didn't find anything could cause the My Computer to startup.

I forgot to mention that I have checked the msconfig tool and there is no anything related to My Computer window.

Try--- In Windows Explorer or Control Panel, click Tools in the Menu bar, click Folder Options, click View tab, in Advanced Settings list, find and Uncheck "Restore previous folder windows at logon"

Try this.
Run regedit and navigate to:HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon
There should be a value (on right hand side of screen) called Userinit.
The data for this value is probably something similar to:C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe
If you do see a duplicated string in there similar to the above - simply double click on the Userinit value and edit the data so as to delete everything to the right of the first comma (,).
In the case above you would leave only:C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe
Exit registry edit and reboot.

Hi all, thanks for your replies.
Unfortunately, both of solutions are not work with me.
"Restore previous folder windows at logon" is unchecked by default.
And, there is no any additional Strings after the comma only C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,
Sorry, but is there anything else could fix this problem?
