My Documents Folder

Hi folks I'm doing a clean up of a friends computer, and one thing I haveing a problem is this. Every time I boot the system and log in under one of the 4 accounts the my documents folder automatically opens up. I did a spyware run and now am doing a virus scan. What I did try was going to view and scroll down to go to and try to uncheck my documents hopeing this would help. Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

That's odd. All the links are active for me. I'm using IE6.

Went to the website using mozilla and this is what I get.

'xp_mydocsopens.vbs
'Copyright 2004 - Doug Knox
'downloaded from http://www.dougknox.com

On Error Resume Next

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

SysDir = fso.GetSpecialFolder(1)

SysDir = SysDir & "\userinit.exe,"

WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\UserInit",SysDir,"REG_SZ"

Set FSO = Nothing
Set WshShell = Nothing

MsgBox "The system Registry has been corrected.", vbokonly, "Done"

It was suppose to download a file instead it show this. Try using IE6 and downloading all it does is close the window.

What happens when you RIGHT click on the link - and choose "save target as" (or something like this)? This should allow you to save the file, and then you can double click it to run it.
