When windows xp home SP2 is started the My Documents folder is displayed in
a window. This is not generated by:
a) an entry in the Startup folder in the menu
b) a startup entry in msconfig
c) win.ini
d) system.ini
e) a run command in the registry

Also if a removable drive is connected and accessed through My Computer the
same My Documents folder is displayed.

This applies to each user account displaying their own My Documents.

Any ideas - various antivirus and spyware scans have been done.

My Documents folder automatically opens every time that you log on:
