Re: Unneeded Windows Explorer window opens when Windows starts

Thanks for the suggestion. I turned on the startup log as that website
suggested.

I don't see anything that references the folder that I'm seeing.

Here's my startup log. I don't mean to ask you to do extensive debugging for
me, but if you care to take a quick look at it and see something funny, I'd
be grateful if you could point it out. (I do have a folder called
c:\programs\Quicken Online Backup, so I don't think that's the problem.)

Thanks.

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.
