Re: Common Files folder opens at startup

Look at the specific entries, carefully. If necessary use REGEDIT, as well as examining any shortcut properties. Look for the one that references the C:\Program Files\Common Files and is not enclosed in quotes. Particularly in shortcuts, having spaces in the path requires that the command line be in quotes.
