I share my PC with my kids. Now, when I switch to my User account and my settings load, the desktop appears and then I get a particular folder [called 'DOCUMENTS'] in Windows Explorer that opens, refreshes then stays. I have tried turning-off via START-PROPERTIES and it still comes up. It's annoying. How do I stop it please? 1 person needs an answerI do too

Download and run this little script http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_mydocsopens.htm

Thanks .. I tried it but it did not work, possibly because it's not 'My Documents' but another folder which happens to be named by me 'DOCUMENTS'. I have been through all the start-up menu so far as I can see and just cannot work out what is happening. I did think about renaming the folder or deleting it temporarily but then it might not load up properly.
