The solution to your problem may lie in the msconfig utility. Go to run and type msconfig and delete all unwanted startup and services from running. Should fix your problem.

Is that an option in explorer? (It isn't in mine). If not then you can't do it.

I don't think it is possible. At least not in the default Windows' configuration.
You may replace your shell with a different one, this is usually a thing like "TweakUI", or something similar.

Problem is If I have a dialog based MFC application I will able to Minimize it in the system tray by using the following code:
NOTIFYICONDATA niData;
niData.cbSize = sizeof(NOTIFYICONDATA);
niData.hWnd = m_hWnd;
niData.uID = 1;
niData.uCallbackMessage = WM_TRAY_ICON_NOTIFY_MESSAG
niData.hIcon = m_hIcon;
niData.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE | NIF_ICON | NIF_TIP;
wcscpy_s(niData.szTip, 127, _T("Tray Me !"));
Shell_NotifyIcon(NIM_ADD, &niData);
In the same way I want to open the windows explorer on startup through program and when user closes it it will minimize into system tray. Is it possible programatically.
Thanks In Advance

To repeat myself. If it is not an option built into windows explorer (and it isn't in my op systems) then no.

I am agree with AndyAinscow's comment :
>> Is it possible programatically.
You can make a windows explorer type application from VC++, which can listen to your commands from your programming code.
Here is a link.
