Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) not loading on boot-up

Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) not loading on boot-up. Type “forum Windows Explorer not loading on boot-up” in Google. Follow the advice of those who seem to know what to do, & watch out for a few fakes who want to trick you! Your best bet is to go to Microsoft Fix-It. Look for “Reset Internet Explorer” at Microsoft Fix-It 50195. Go to this link:

Other things to do:

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down
to Item No. 260. In the right column, click on "System32 Folder Opens
Upon Boot". Download this repair file and then run the repair.

Author’s Note: I ran a MalwareBytes scan and it found nothing (7-17-11).

Malware or a virus can result in your problem. Do a virus scan with current virus defs and run Ad-aware from Lavasoft or spybot. If you do not have current virus defs, then download stinger.exe from McAfee. It will destroy any of about 50 of the most recent viruses.
