My documents keeps opening on bootup.

[pkme2]

I've been trying for the past 8 hrs to get rid of it to no avail.

Maybe someone has a better solution.
I've been in and out of regedit and msconfig with so many solutions etc, and so far I still got the problem.

Maybe someone out there has a surefire solution. Can't hurt to ask for help. Thanks.

Try this one:

How do I stop My Documents window from opening at startup?

This is a question I received a while ago. After an upgrade to Windows XP SP2 the 'My Documents' folder always opened when Windows was started.
I ran msconfig, but couldn't find anything suspicious... After a while I found out there was something wrong with the 'userinit'-key in the registry.
The value of this key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\UserInit) was C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe.

Changing this key to only C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe solved the problem.

It is from this site: http://khsw.blogspot.com/2004/11/how-do-i-stop-my-documents-window-from.html

Tried that already. Didn't work, but I appreciate your effort.
Very frustrating isn't it?
Still, more minds are still better than one.

Does it happen in safe mode?

1) create a new user account and see if it still happens
2) msconfig > uncheck everything in startup and all non-Microsoft services
3) post a HiJack This log
