I'm using Windows XP SP 3. Every time I open Windows, a Windows explorer
window opens, showing C:\Program Files\Quicken. I do have the Quicken
program installed on my PC, but I did not intentionally do anything to
open this Window.

How can I get Windows to stop opening this unneeded window?

See this information from MVP Ramesh. The example is for a Dell folder but
the same principal applies to your situation.
