Default My Computer
Whenever I re-start my PC the My Computer window keeps opening up and I do
not know why.

I recently got a virus on my pc and cleaned it fully using McAfee Virus
scan, and now everything is clean.

I have checked my start-ups and there is nothing in there.

Can anyone help me get rid of this little annoyance.

Thanks

Hi,

What folder does it open to?

Could you please export and post the contents of these keys in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do this one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose edit, it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.

Hi. This patch refers to My Documents.

It is My Computer that opens up on startup

Will this still work?

Default Re: My Computer
Hi,

This can be caused by leftovers from cleaning up spyware as well. Try this:

Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, uncheck the line "restore previous
folder windows at logon". Click apply/ok, do not reboot yet.

Start/run msconfig, on the general tab select the diagnostic mode. Click
apply/ok and reboot at prompted. The folder should not show up now. Rerun
msconfig, put the system back in normal mode. Click apply/ok and reboot once
more. Does this help?

Default Re: My Computer
Hi,
I will try that.

Also, I have noticed this mentioned on a previous post.

I had a virus called "ibm00001.exe" and "ibm00001.dll"

Could this be a cause.

Ive scanned my pc and no longer have this. Is there anything else I need to
do?

You will most likely make far more of this than I:

The following registry entry may be created to run ibm00001.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell
explorer.exe "<path to ibm00001.exe>"
