C:\Program Files\Dell folder opens on log on

Question

Hi
I am having a problem with a folder
C:\Program Files\Dell
which opens everytime I log on or switch user on my Dell Inspiron 6000.
I don't know how it started, but it is annoying!

I have seen other users having the same problem, and have
tried all the fixes suggested in other threads and formums without any success.
Can anyone help me please?

Yo. This fix didn't help in itself, but Ram's fix at the link in the thread from Sparks did work.  Thanx for the assist Georgie and Sparks!   Message Edited by PerfectNX01 on 10-28-2006 06:00 AM

That would be caused by something in startup that wasn't placed in quotes. See if you can disable it from msconfig or regedit in hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\Run

You were right about the missing quotes. I had followed the same fix from Ram at:
