When I boot up, 4 windows explorer windows also open, why?
When I boot up 4 windows explorer windows also open. Same ones. I checked the start up in msconfig. I checked in System information under software environments/startup programs. I looked in the registry in the run & run once. I found nothing in any of these spots. I ran NOD32 virus scanner twice, nothing. Hijackthis analyze showed nothing. Superantispyware found a few random cookies. Everything works fine it's just a little bothersome. Running W7 ultimate 64. i5, 8 gigs ram,

Try going into your Conrol Panel, open Folder Options, under the View tab uncheck "Restore previous folder windows at logon", click Apply/OK

The "run" key in Registry has been around for some time. I think I remember it in Win98. But the actual location has changed from version to version of Windows.
Here, for example and if I remember correctly, is a list of start locations for Win XP.
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
2. the "load=" line in the [windows] section in C:\Windows\WIN.INI
3. the "run=" line in the [windows] section in C:\Windows\WIN.INI
4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
5. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
6. C:\Windows\AllUsers\StartM
7. C:\Windows\StartMenu\Progr
* I think there was also a Run Once key.
