Folder open automatically at startup

My Dell desktop computer uses Windows XP with SP3. At startup, the "C:\Program Files" folder opens automatically for about two weeks. I could not, so far, to cancel this action. Almost all the files in this folder are files ".dll" of Real Networks, Inc. need help.

1. check folder Options > view tab "Restore previous folder on Windows Login" is unchecked.

2. in addition, after each connection, your profile is loaded in the registry and a number of programmes is launched for the key hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run. When Windows is unable to load a particular program, say, the path of the program no longer exists, he sometimes opens the folder C:\Program Files by default.

To resolve, in a run window (Windows Logo key + R), type regedit, hit enter and go to the key above and check if each value is known to you. Then do the same thing to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

Note, it is prudent to create a system before any restore point, just in case something goes wrong.
