Hey whenever I turn on my computer and log in to Windows, it takes a while to log in and then the screen goes blank, and a browser window (Windows Explorer, don't get confused now) pops up, instead of the normal Windows interface (explorer.exe, not the same program) starting. I have to manually start it by going to C:/Windows/explorer.exe and everything runs fine. I just need help getting around this inconvenience, as it is quite annoying having to do that every time I log in.
P.S. just so you don't get confused, there are 2 different programs, Windows Explorer, which is what you use to locate/move/copy/paste/etc. your files, and there is explorer.exe, which is the interface that everything operates on.
Do you have all the latest patches and are you sure you computer is free of virus or malware? If you feel you are protected then did this occur shortly after an MS Patch/update. Check and see if you can either unistall the last patch or boot to the last known good configuration (press F8 between the bios splash screen and the windows splash screen at boot up). If you are not up to date on your security, then start with that and then work your way into a repair...
