Windows Explorer runs unexpectedly on startup

[NB1700]

Hello everybody,

I am a newbie. Please bear with me if I ask stupid questions.

 

Today, I started my computer and Windows Explorer popped up (showing the contents in C:/Program Files/Intel/) which I didn't suppose it to do. I checked my hard drive for viruses and ad-wares and none was found. I would like to know what happened and if possible, to disable the process from being ran on startup. I have looked into the Startup folder, the relevant sections of the regedit and msconfig but unfortunately could not find a clue.

 

Please help me. Thanks.

Hi and welcome.

 

I suggest you post a so called HijackThis log in the appropriate section of this board so that someone can help you troubleshoot.

 

In that section you'll find a pinned topic explaining how to generate and post such a log.

hello.

there is an option to view your last current file that was viewed, when you restart your computer.

start>control panel>folder options>view

find the option that says "restore previous folder windows at logon"

The issue was in fact resolved in the other topic.
