How do I get rid of?

Question

when I start my computer the My Computer window opens. How do I get rid of it doing that?

Answer 1

A few things to try:

1. In My Computer, up at the top click on Tools then Folder Options then the View tab. Find "Restore previous folder windows at logon" (or something similar). If it's checked, uncheck it, click OK.

2. Look in the Start Menu>All Programs for the Startup folder. If there's a reference to My Computer or Windows Explorer there, right click it and delete it. That only removes the instruction to Windows to open Windows Explorer to a specified folder every time Windows is started.

3. Go to Start>Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotes), click OK. Go to the Startup tab. Look through the list to see if there's anything referring to My Computer. If so, uncheck it, click OK.

Answer 2

Start > Run > Type in: msconfig
In the window that appears go to the Startup tab
Look for a line that is loading explorer.exe and uncheck the line
(You can not hurt your computer by unchecking the wrong thing. You just go back and recheck it)
While there, if there are any programs you do not need to preload on your computer, uncheck them also. (Most people can uncheck everything). The fewer things loaded here, the faster your PC will run.
