Dell Folder Window

When I first turn on my computer and get to the Windows desktop, the Dell Folder window automatically opens from the program file folder (C:\Program Files\Dell).  How can I keep it closed without having to manually close it every time?

    There are other possible culprits, including Quickset or memtest.exe for a Dell Printer.  Perhaps something in the following links will help you pin it down:
