RE: Windows explorer starts up during load up

Hello,

Every time I start my computer, the 'windows explorer' starts up and
searches for my hard drive, cd drive, etc, when xp is loading up. How can I
prevent this from happening, this is slowing down my computer. I have tried
in msconfig, and also analysed my start up programs and it is not there.
My updates are regular and I am using 'Internet explorer 7'

Regards

Brian
