Another easy way to do this, is to go to START, the press RUN, and type in MSCONFIG You can edit the system.ini, win.ini, and startup settings. If you don't like to deal with risky registries, this might be an easy solution.

Good response to a common question? Why didn't you post it to the party who asked 
the question.?

I just installed XP SP2. My IE error messages and hang ups have stopped but whenever I boot the "My Documents" folder opens. I have a second account for my wife and her's also opens. I've checked the usual spots in the registry, startup and Doc and Settings files and can't find anything. Please HELP...

There has been a lot of posts regarding SP2 on this forum and on other technical 
forums. The few who have had any success, for the most part, are those who slipstreamed 
SP2 with the XP startup disk and reinstalled from that disk. You might run a Google 
search of the forum and get some news from them on just how they did it.

I am not about to install SP2, it isn't necessary and it breaks more apps than it 
fixes.

I am sorry for not getting back as soon as I resolved this problem. I had never installed a desktop shortcut to My Documents but it appeared after SP2 was installed. After removing the shortcut from my desktop My Documents did not automatically open on not just my account but my wife's also. Thanks again for quality control Mr. Gates.
