I,m running a Dell Dimension 2350 Desktop with Windows XP. This system only has 256MB ram. I removed several infected files from this system very successfully. The only problem that I have is when I boot up the computer the "My Documents Page" displays after the desktop loads. At this point I have to close this page after every startup. Any help with getting rid of this problem will be appreciated.

and look for explorer.exe loading at startup, likely it was due to an infection. If not, you may still be infected with something, best re-scan everything.

1.Start>Run>Regedit>ok

2.Now navigate to the following key:-
HKEY_ LOCAL_ MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Win?dows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

3.Look down the list in the Right Hand pane,scroll down to the value Userinit This value should read:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, (The comma at the end must also be there)

4.If the value is different from that mentioned above then Right Click on the Userinit value and, from the drop down menu, select Modify. Type in the value C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,in the Modify dialogue box click OK.

5.Exit the Registry.Restart your computer.

It could also be a QuickLaunch setting.
