Check the usual places such as Startup folder, and in the registry look
at the Run node. If folders pop up, it often means that Windows was
instructed to run some program in that folder, but the program has been
deleted. This can happen if someone deletes a program without
uninstalling it.

 I have a friend whose computer screen is filled with a series of pop up
folders such as, control panel, dialup networking, printer and a c:
folder every time she boots up. There does not seem to be any problems
once they are all closed but it is annoying to have to deal with them at
each start up. Has anyone else had a similar experience and if so, how
can they be stopped?
