Spybot Program Files Folder Opens on Every Startup
Hi Forum, I had a look to see if anyone had posted this q before but could not see one (your search is a bit rubbish though).
However, when I start my machine up it always opens the spybot program files folder, any ideas why or how to resolve this?
Best regards
Roger
I see two other people here had this happen,but can't find one where it was fixed.You could post your system startup list,I guess,and see if there's anything in there.To do that,you'd open Spybot,select mode up top,then Advanced Mode,then over to the left,select Tools,then System Startup.Then click Export,save the startup report somewheres,then copy and paste it here.
Awesome thanks zanobia, here it is:

I don't see anything related to Spybot,other than Teatimer,and that shouldn't make the Spybot programs file folder run on startup.brb.
Well,I was going to suggest Autoruns since it would show a lot more startup entries,but the logfile is really,really huge,even if you take out the Microsoft entries,so guess that won`t be a good idea.
If you`re willing,you could try uninstalling,then reinstalling Spybot to see if the problem will go away.Though be forewarned,the problem may not go away,since if there`s a hidden startup entry somewhere,the Very Small Fix may not get rid of it.But,it might be worth a shot.

roger2:
Did you by chance rename the default installation folder of:
- C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
To:
- C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4
Or vice versa after the installation of Spybot-S&D 1.4?
In what folder is TeaTimer.exe actually located?

Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
Missed that.Ty,md.
Zenobia:
I specially looked for something like that (and actually missed it at first glance) because I thought I remembered (from way back when) that someone else had a problem with a Windows Explorer session opening when they tried to start SpybotSD.exe (from a shortcut icon if I remember correctly). It involved the renaming of the "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy" folder because in their case the name was too long to suit them or some other such nonsense.
The bottom line is, if I remember correctly, that there is a possibility that if an entry points to an incorrect folder or non-existing folder that Windows Explorer opens. Note: I didn't attempt to replicate the problem, so I am just going by my some times on and some times off memory of old problems.

Yes,that was in one of the posts I found,but then I missed it,lol.
