Ya, checkout in Startup. It might have a shorcut for "Explorer.exe c:\" If it is not there open up msconfig and check out in that. And remove that entry.

Also (while in msconfig) as well as checking the startup tab settings, check the win.ini tab, expand the Windows section (click on the + sign) and check the Load= and Run= lines. They should be (normally) empty after the equals sign.

thanks, the fix from the microsoft site worked thanks.
they suggested to delete a certain registry key but i'm paranoid about deleting parts of my registry so i set the value from (1) to (0) for that key.
