Windows folder or the WIndows Explorer?


Try this:


Start>Control Pannel>Appearance and Themes>Folder Options then click on the view tab.

Under the Advance Settings find a thing saying:

Restore previous folder windows at login.

If that is ticked, then untick it. Reboot your computer and try it again. If you still have this prob

(classic) go to your Control Panel>Folder Options

Under the Advance Settings find a thing saying:

Restore previous folder windows at login.

If that is ticked, then untick it the click on OK. Reboot your computer and try it again. If you still have this problem.

I did some hunting for this in Google, and I found this:

So its clear that you have some trojan or virus running behind.
Have you tried for those to fix with any anti virus or antispy software?


I think that this is a Spyware/Maleware case and you would have to do a posting in the Malware forums.
