Explorer doesn't start automatically
When i start my laptop, the Folder Explorer doesn't start when i start the
computer. Therefore i got completely blank empty background with no icons, task bar or start menu. Only My Documents folder pops up. I have to run the "explorer" manually from the Task Manager, and everything starts up normally. Any suggestions/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Explorer doesn't start automatically
Hi fmq,
Seems to be a common problem, but it's easy to fix. Follow these steps: Click start, type 'regedit' and hit enter to open the registry editor. Expand the keys at left to reach: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Click on this key, then locate the 'shell' string in the right pane. Double click it, replace the contents with just: explorer.exe Click ok, then close the registry editor and reboot. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "fmq" wrote in message ...
