my gf's laptop has a odd problem, when she boots into windows, it brings up a full screen explorer window of "\windows\micosoft office" and nothing else. i have searched around in the reg and in msconfig but haven't found anything referencing it.

any ideas? it's annoying the h*ll out of her.

it's a thinkpad running xp pro.
 
Sorry but I have run into this a few times myself and so far nothing has been a 100% fix besides reinstalling windows. Give this a shot though.

I know its not for the same folder but can be applied universally most of the time. Besides that also try a few registry tweakers, I have had some luck with those in these situation buts not everytime.
 
crap.. i'll give it a try this weekend when i see her again.

thanks for the info
