Greetings,
Somehow I now have my XP in a mode that it opens "My Documents" folder upon
startup.
Since this is a huge directory, it takes forever, with the images and all.
I cannot find out how to modify the startup desktop environment.
I have looked in "startup" the registry, etc, cannot find how to change
this!!!
ANy help appreciated.
Thanks
John
