[Solved] Folders Open On Screen on Start or Re- Booting

[Mustang Lady]

When I start or re-boot I always get several open folders one on top of the other on my screen. What's wrong?

Are you closing them before shutting down?

If so, what do you have on the start button, programs, start-up items?

Also start button, run, then type msconfig and hit ok...go to the start-up tab.

What folders are they?

Do you have Find Fast and Windows95?

Yes, I have Find Fast and Windows 95.

On my startup option I have Incontrol Desktop Mgr, Find Fast and Office Startup.

Hi Mustang Lady,

Here's one that's often overlooked, but strikes all the time... :

Windows starts with open Explorer windows after installing Norton Internet Security or Norton Personal Firewall


Good luck,

I would recommend disabling Find Fast all together. See the instructions in this link:

Thank your both so much. These steps have corrected the problem!!!

Hi Mustang Lady,

Great you got it solved!

But what caused it exactly? Was it FindFast, something in Msconfig/startup, or was it Norton?

Greetz,

I seems to have been Norton.
