Windows boots, My Documents auto opens. WTF?

Atnevon · Nov 27, 2008, 01:18 AM

Good morning TPU,

Well the title is the problem as you can guess.

Basically, from what the user told me is this: They did a virus scan. After they got rid of some crap, the My Documents would open as soon as Windows XP is loaded.

Its a P.O.S lappy that needs a reformat bad. It basically been mySpaced and "I know who sent me the email, so I opened it" to hell.

If i can just solve the My Documents issue, I'll leave it at that. I don;t feel like reformatting and installing Windows again over my Thanksgiving Break.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving TPU!
-Andrew
