Everytime I start up windows, My Documents file opens up after the boot is complete. I cannot find anywhere to disable this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you look in the Start - All Programs - StartUp folder?

Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

In the right pane under Userinit - Change the key that reads:

C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe
To:
C:\Windows\System32\Userinit.exe,

And also here:

Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. In the right pane, check your settings under Load.

Evening,
Try going into Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab and scroll down to see if there is a checkmark at"restore previous folder windows at logon ". This might cause the problem. Just remove the checkmark and see if it corrects it.
just my idea,
XDon
