Followed recommendations and installed SP2 in about 40 minutes. All went
well, except my free version of Zone Alarm stopped loading at startup. (I
had told Windows XP not to use their firewall). I uninstalled Zone Alarm
and reinstalled, now it still doesn't load at startup. Instead, I get an
open explorer window of a folder called Zone.com

I have to close this folder and go in and manually start ZoneAlarm. I have
ZoneAlarm set to automatically run on startup but instead it's opening some
folder!

THIS was the fix:
