Original title: start updocument file opens at start up or reboot

Hi rdhoo, Do you mean to say that ‘My Document’ appears at Start Up or a document file gets executed all by itself once you logged into Windows? With the information that you’ve provided, I would suggest you to try the steps mentioned below. Step 1: Check the behavior in Safe modeTo start the computer in Safe modehttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx Step 2: Perform a clean bootIf the document file doesn’t get executed in Safe mode as soon as you login, then perform a clean boot that helps in eliminating software conflicts.

Do you have a name for this file?Another approach not mentioned in your other reply is to use Autoruns (freeware from Systernal Internal -Microsoft).http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspxPlease note you can Disable a StartUp item to test the effect and remove for a permanent solution.
