How do you stop c drive from opening when ME boots?

Hi. I would like to know how to stop my c drive from opening when ME starts up. I
have just done a clean install of ME and have not installed any thing other than
the basic drivers and critical updates. I have seen some regedits, but I don't seem
to have the exact paths that are specified. ie: microsoft says delete DesktopProcess
from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer, but i
don't have anything called DesktopProcess there. I also have nothing in my start
up and as far as i can tell nothing in msconfig that would cause that window to open.

C:\ drive is usually the default harddrive - ever time
you boot up it starts with DOS - and if "Windows ME" is installed, it will open
- it is the lifeline of the computer - why would you want it shut off;

I don't want the drive shut off, i just don't want that window to open right after
the desktop loads but before i can click on my desktop icons. sorry if i didn't make
myself clear.

Hi Dawn,
Visit the two following keys in your Registry and make sure
that every item
in the right panel is enclosed in quotes:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Regards.
Ron
