Folder Opens on every Boot

Hy!

A few days ago an every boot folder C:\documents opens, I use XP with SP3
This is not My Documents, there is an old documents file.
I checked msconfig and looked under the Startup tab, there was nothing referred to specified folder.
I checked too:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\Software\\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
For Userinit it said C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
Shell it said: explorer.exe
I read: https://www.techspot.com/community/topics/my-documents-folder-opens-on-boot-xp-sp2.21035/

If I rename the Folder to everything else, it don't start but if I rename back, it start again :D
I appreciate any suggestions (y)

Did you examine:
Run regedit and navigate to:

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Winlogon

In there there should be a value (on right hand side of screen) called Userinit.

The data for this value is probably something similar to:

C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,

If you do see a duplicated string in there similar to the above - simply double click on the Userinit value and edit the data so as to delete everything to the right of the first comma (,). In the case above you would leave only:

C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,

Exit registry edit and reboot. No more My Documents!
