| 20577 | 2001-10-08 11:28:00 | Whenever I start/restart my computer, it loads Windows Explorer on Startup. Didn't used to do this, but one day it just started. Running Windows ME. Any suggestions how I can stop it? Cheers |

If its not, and Windows Explorer was open at startup, then the next time you startup, then it'll open again, until you shutdown properly. Secondly, Windows Explorer may have been added to startup somewhere, like in your startup folder or in the registry. Go to: Start > Run > 'msconfig.exe' and click on the 'Startup' tab, and see what programs are set to run automatically at startup, and if you find Explorer in there, it'll tell you where so you can try to delete it, or you can just uncheck it in there and restart. |
