program folder opens on boot up - Win XP

I recently noticed that when I boot my computer, a program folder opens in the process. Although it doesn't seem to hurt anything (I just close it to continue on) it's kind of irritating. I looked in msconfig, the startup folder and in Startup on my programs list and it doesn't show up in any of these places. It isn't a new program, so it's not because I installed it recently. In fact, it's only a portion of another program. It's the Photo Record program portion of the ZoomBrowser program that came with my camera (which i've had for a year and this has only just started happening in the last month). If anyone can give me advice on how to stop this from happening, I'd appreciate it.

http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html and find out where it is being launched. You should be able to stop it then.

program folder opens on boot up - Win XP

I downloaded the program and ran it. Of course I don't really know what to do with it, but I read through the Ėverything" list carefully and the program that opens isn't on the list, nor is the main program....Now what?

Interesting. It shows a pretty complete list - maybe too complete at times.

Try downloading Hijackthis (link in the quicklinks from my signature). Unzip it to a regular folder of your choice (so not desktop and not any of your temp folders).

Run it to scan and create a log then post the log here. Your startup entry may be shown there and if so, it will be a simple matter of checking one line for removal via another HJT scan.

Get the latest HJT version (yours is way out of date) and post another log please.
