Windows XP Service Pack 2
i have just downloaded Windows XP Service Pack 2. And now whenever I start up my computer 'my documents' loads automatically which is very annoying. Is there any way of stopping this happeneing? I don't know whether or not the service pack has anything to do with it, but it seems like my only explination.

Send a message via ICQ to Sathallrin Send a message via AIM to Sathallrin Send a message via MSN to Sathallrin Send a message via Yahoo to Sathallrin
Check if a shortcut to My Documents is in Start Menu -> Programs -> Startup
That would cause this to happen

Try Start > Run > "msconfig"

Go to the Startup tab and uncheck anything you don't need. I would advise not to uncheck anything you arn't sure about. If you are unsure, we can help with that.
