AUTOMATIC OPENING (POP OPEN) OF A FOLDER ON LOGON

Many times it was observed that a folder- some times My Documents, otherwise System32- pops open immediately after logon. This is normally due to a registry mismanipulation. The problem can be solved in the following manner.

To perform the following actions you must be a member of Administrator group.

Start Menu > Run
Type regedit
Enter

Registry Editor opens.

Navigate to the following key-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows NT > Current Version > Winlogon
On the right pane, select the key Userinit and modify the value as - C:\Windows\System32\Userinit
(Value can be modified by double clicking the key and then type the value in the following box.)

Now navigate to-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Current Version > Explorer > Advanced
On the right pane, change the value of key PersistBrowsers to 0.
Close the Registry Editor.

Restart the PC and the problem is solved.
