voyager1: How to disable a window with desktop folders from opening at startup on Vista?
Each time I start my computer, a window opens looking like the control panel but has the word desktop on the address bar and all the folders of my desktop. I want to know how to disable this annoying window from opening each time. It’s similar to the welcome screen. On the bottom of the screen to the right of the start button the window is named desktop. How do I stop it from starting up each time I start my computer?

Hello

Can you please, do this first:
click on START button (bottom left corner- window logo)
Click on ALL PROGRAMS
Scroll down to a folder called STARTUP
Open it and look to see if anything is inside, if the folder that keeps opening up is inside then…
RIGHT CLICK, DELETE. This will only delete the action not the actual Folder.
