    Default (windows) explorer window on startup

    Since upgrading to v1.3 and now v1.5, an explorer window opens up at the Spybot folder on Windows startup.

    How do I stop it? Presumably it's a registry key ...?


    Thanks very kindly

    I have heard of this happening if the default installation folder was renamed after installation. Is Spybot installed in the following directory?
    • C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy

    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.

    Thanks for your response.

    I have a 'Spybot' folder which is holding v1.3 (which is the version when the problem started) and a 'Spybot - Search & Destroy' which is holding v1.5.

    I'll try deleting the Spybot folder. If that doesn't work, do you recommend a full uninstall/reinstall?

    regards
