1) One possibility - someone tried to create a shortcut to windows explorer - to put it on the start menu, but
put it in the startup folder instead? Check for a shortcut to EXPLORER.EXE in -> Start - Programs - Startup
and delete it if you find one.

2) Another possibility - look for a file named win.ini and open it - ( usually c:\windows ) . Then, under the
[windows] section look at the fist two lines - they should be:

load=
run=

If either of these lines list 'explorer.exe' after the = sign, highlight it, backspace it out, close the file
and save the changes. You *should* make a copy of this file before you change it, and keep it elsewhere -
'just in case'. hth
