stray windows in xp...

[zigzag03]

i have a xp machine that pops up two folder windows at startup, one for adobe and one for office. they just list files like any windows explorer window. anyone know how to get rid of them? they're not in the startup folder, and using msconfig i don't see any solid reference to them. i've seen the adobe window before, and got rid of it once on another machine, but darned if i can remember how. thanks zz03
