Hi Kelly,

I ran all cleaners you suggested and My Documents folder still loaded on start up.

I have since unchecked an entry in msconfig called "Explorer.exe" and it looks like my documents don't load up.

Also you were right there is and entry in HKLM/software/microsoft/windowsnt/currentversion/winlogon
which reads: Shell Explorer.exe

Thanks again.

Ike
