I have a folder that opens everytime I start my computer. How can I get it to stop opening upon startup?

Your computer has a spyware.

Go to Start

Click on Run

Type msconfig

Click on OK

System Configuration will open

Go to startup Tab

Look for a blank startup item there, uncheck it

Press Apply and Press Close

Restart the computer

Click on Don't show this message

Click on OK

then do an Online ewido scan

I don't know if this will help, but try it anyway:

1)Boot up your computer

2)After the folder pops up, close it.

3)Go to start menu.

4)Slide over to All Programs menu.

5)Slide over to the Startup menu.

6)If the folder name is in there, delete it.(This will not delete the folder within the system: it will stop the folder from opening up at Windows startup. If that doesn't work, you'll have to set up a brand new Windows.)

P.S. Hope this helps.

Try Start

Run

type "msconfig" in the slot and click OK

Select the Startup tab and then locate the offending file or folder and disable it. Then click OK. You will have to restart to have the change take effect.

It is due to a corrupt registry entry. You can do a google search as well.
