W7 start up mystery
I have a laptop running W7 Pro 32 bit. When it starts up, an instance of My Computer starts up, but I don't know why and it shoudln't!
I've looked in All Programmes, Start Menu - there's nothing in there.
I've run MSCONFIG and I can't find anything on the Startup tab.
Where else can I look to stop this, please. Any tips gratefully received!
