System Folder opens on Startup

From the Start/Run applet: Execute REGEDIT, navigate to this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
Look for a sub-key below this branch called "desktopprocess".
Click on it and delete it. Then close the registry editor and restart.

Hi

If this folder is open when you shut down Windows, it may be that you have the option to restore folder windows the next time Windows is started. This behaviour can be adjusted by altering the settings: Tools, Folder Options, View.

However, if you do not have this set, then it suggests that some process has not been properly stopped after, maybe, an installation or uninstallation - sometimes programs create a file named wininit.ini which is run when Windows starts. Check to see if this file exists and delete it if it does.

Good luck

I had an old system that this would happen on. It also took 20 minutes to boot. Turns out it was loaded with mal-ware and viruses, and it was something there that was opening it.

Once the system is up, go to START -> RUN -> MSCONFIG. Uncheck anything that doesn't look right. Reboot and run Ad-aware and Spybot (both are free on download.com). After they run, run a virus check.

Good Luck

Another possibility (happened to me with one program) is that a program is set to start automatically, but the path is wrong. I found that the program in the Registry was started as
C:\Program Files\Program\program.exe
and what happened was that it opened the FOLDER "C:\Program Files\" on Windows start, but not the program.
I added quotation marks around the whole path, and it worked, i.e.
"C:\Program Files\Program\program.exe"

Usually, you find these entries in the following areas:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
There are also other RUN entries right in the same area, so check those, too.

probable solutions are as follow:

go to start>run>msconfig remove it from start up options menu

go to start>program files>startup from here if its shortcut is given then remove it

and if its not solved then as per other answers given here for Registry editing by Tweak. DO it.
