Novice Programmer has a question

I have created a very basic second “login screen” (actually it is just a form that comes up and has no way being removed other than a password input) in vb.net and have it setup to run whenever I log into my user account in Windows XP. When it goes to run it also brings up the folder the application is in. How can I stop the folder from opening when the application runs?

Edit: I found the problem. I needed to take the Application Files folder out of the startup folder.
