Program folder opening on statup!!

Hello all,

Not a big problem but very fruystrating trying to fix this…..Everytime when I boot up ME, I get my Program Folder open on the desktop along with all the other utilites at start up……
Now….this is NOT in the startup folder…I checked autoexe.bat and didn’t see any d:\program info there?? maybe its a diff name? ….I haven’t tried the registry yet!!!
This started happening one day when I had this folder open and ME crashed… then upon startup, it came up.. I closed it and have properly shut down over 100 times since then and 95% of the time this folder is there again on start up…???

Any suggestions other than reinstalling???
