Hi Rick
I tried this but the folder still pops up. Don't know if I did all the steps
the right way. When I run msconfig a window pops up with a number of tabs -
the last one marked "autostart". If I uncheck the options you listed in your
last message, and look at the first - "general" - tab (the one with the
start-up options) the last alternative (called "selective start-up" in
Swedish - could be something else in English) has been automatically marked.
If I change to Diagnostic mode and re-boot, the programs folder doesn't show
up. If I then mark the normal start-up option and look under the auto-start
tab, all the previously unchecked items have been checked again, and if I
re-boot then the d***d program folder pops up after a few seconds.

I've also tried to uncheck and recheck the "restore previous windows..."
under the control panel/folder options/view tab, but this doesn't seem to
make any difference.

If you have any more suggestions I'd be happy to try them. Otherwise I will
just have to live with the situation.
Many thanks for your help this far, anyway.
