Post subject: StartUp = My Computer Opens + CD Recording Device Warning
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>general (more info?)

I have Windows XP and the McAfee Security Suite. When we each log into our
preferences, the following items always pop up: "My Computer" folder opens,
and I get a warning about "CD Recording Device". I have gone into Start -
Run - Msconfig - StartUp and neither of these items appear. It takes almost
3 full
minutes for my system to boot up after I go into my own preferences.
Finally, I will get a McAfee Privacy Service Box open up to put in my
password to access the internet. How do I get a "bare bones" start up and
speed things up? My machine is old (400 mhz) but has an 80 gig harddrive and
256 SDRAM. Help!
Thanks!

Moira,
For the "CD Recording...." error, see if this applies:

Woo Hoo Ramesh!
I got rid of the CD Recording Software Pop Up! Thanks so, so much!
Any ideas on why at StartUp, after logging into McAfee, the "My Computer"
folder appears, with a nice little red flashlight, that is looking for
something, and after a few seconds the "My Computer" folder opens?
Thanks again!
Moira

Hi Ramesh!
I went through everything you gave me for information, downloaded both
"autoruns" and also "serviwin" utilities - no where was I able to find why
the "My Computer" folder opens, and why the system is searching for something
within it. Is there a way I can look for an "open up My Computer" command
that would not appear in the start up? I am baffled?!
Thanks!
Moira
