XP2 windows explorer problem

[Monoxide]

can anyone help me with this? it loads up everytime i start the computer

Have you clicked on the "restore my active desktop " ? I have never seen that, ever. Maybe somebody that has will chime in.

I used to see that all the time with SP1... havent seen that since I switched to SP2... Its quite safe to click on the 'Restore my Active Desktop' button.

 

[Monoxide]

nah, i already tried that

this sucks..

 

[Dngrsone]

It looks like you may have some malware... get hijackthis and post a log in the appropriate forum.

 

[Monoxide]

alrighty then..

 

[Monoxide]

hope this works
