OK,
When logging on the pc (Gateway XP 2000 Pro) it reboots twice and my documents folder appears what’s the deal and how can this be easily stopped. I have installed the latest anti ad ware and spy ware software still the problem persist, please help. Forgot to mention, make it simple.

Thanks
Alex
 
A good check list for My Documents opening can be found here.



Problems with rebooting.

To get further information about any error look in your Event viewer.

Look in the System or Application folder. You can get to the Event Viewer via right click My Computer icon and select Manage.

Any errors logged in the Event Viewer can be expanded by double clicking on the error line.

Take any event error I.D. number and search for it on these sites.




Also check any "Information" line that mentions "savedump" and you should find reference to "recovered from a bug check". This is the Stop Error that caused your problem.

You can also turn off "automatically restart after an error" so it will just halt at the fault and display the full Stop Error and blue screen.

Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties .
On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery .
Click to clear the Automatically restart check box under System failure , and then click OK . The error message on a blue screen should remain on the screen so you can record the error information.
