Temporary internet folder comes up on start up
Can anyone offer any solution.
On start up (windows xp) what would appear to be my temporary internet folder opens over the desktop. I close the file and all seems to be okay.
Any ideas?

Check the following key in the registry, and look for something with temporary internet files in it.
Then delete it
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Run]
Obviously all disclaimers apply, that if you do not know what you are doing you may cause terrible harm......
Also run a virus/spyware scan...

if you go to
Start> All programmes> Startup--- a list of programmes/ folders appear in there that start up automatically when you load windows.
Check to see you haven't got anything in there thats asking the file to open.

A good little app that I use is Start Up Control Panel http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
This app shows all programs set to run at start up in the registry eg. HKCU/Run, HKLM/Run, Run Once and allows you to disable or even delete entries much safer than going into the registry directly.
