RE: Folder Opens on Startup




Thought I'd found the answer here, but that registry key, C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe, isn't in my registry. Did a
search for it an it aint there? I'll have to keep looking for an answer to
microsoft's increasingly intrusive behaviour. I'm getting sick of it.
I know it's head in the sand stuff but if I uninstall this "live" thingey I
won't miss it as I didn't have it before, and I'll claw back 120 odd Mb of
space!
I think it best if eveyone went Linux or similar, we might then get back to
having fun with a computer :-)

I experienced the same problem after installing the Microsoft Search
Enchancement Pack.

I was able to resolve the issue, using the instructions below:

START > RUN > Type regedit

Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Right click MSSE in the Name list and select modify. Notice that the MSSE
entry is the only one that has a space in the path that doesn't have quotes
around the path, So, the path is seen as

C:\Program Files\Microsoft rather than...

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe -hide

But if you edit that line so it has quotes around the 'PATH' only, so it
should read

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe" -hide

IMPORTANT. Notice the '-hide' is NOT within quotes.
