The common file is now opening at start up. How do I stop this?

It is not in the startup file and did not appear when I looked in It is not in the start up file. This started after adding software for my digital camera.

Do you mean the Common directory ?

If someone knows what triggers this, maybe that's what happened to one of the desktops at work. It keeps opening the 'HP' directory on startup, and noone seems to know why.

I'll keep looking; if I find out how to prevent it, I'll get back to you.

Go to Start, Run, msconfig, startup, and uncheck the file.
