My pal has an unusual problem with Vista on his desktop.
Each time he boots up, the following folder opens and stays displayed on the desktop:
Computer > HP(C:) > Windows > system32

I have tried to sort it but cannot. Anyone please?

Sorted after a lot of reading/head scratching!
A program called HiYo in the start-up list was causing it. Disabling this stopped the system32 folder from arriving opened on the desktop.
