After start up I get the "my documents" folder opens up automatically. I
also get the "search assistant" and "quick launch" icons appear on my
taskbar. I have opened the taskbar conf. utility and deselected the settings
but they return at the next startup. I have also looked at msconf. file and
deselected anything that might be starting these files including the "my
documents" file at start up but they keep returning. Where else can I go to
change the start up settings to stop these files from loading each time?
