Click on start button located in your windows desktop lower left corner.\nThen click Run\n\nType-   msconfig\n\nIt will pop-up a window.Select StartUp Tab.\n\nLook for start up items which executed when you logon to machine.\n\nIf you find anything related something like explorer or something which opens My Document Folder.Uncheck it and apply.\n\nI hope this will work.\n\nMake sure , you are not unchecking any other item .. as it maye create problem.\n\nbest of Luck \nRegards

Search for extensions like .doc .xls . jpg\n\nDelete them where approprate.  this usually fixes most peoples problem..  Personally I would never use windows 98...  go get a copy of 2k or xp..

I know of a way, but I woult not even bother to tell you that, unless to get points here.\n\nIts very dangerous to mess with those system files. You might screw up the system. It was a little safe with Windows 95/98 and the ME, but now with XP I never tried it but can expect results to be devastating if something goes wrong.\n\nhttp://www.theeldergeek.com/change_text_on_xp_start_button.htm

Why would  you think it would show up in my documents, either right click on start and then click explore and then click on the D:&#92;, or click start>my computer>d:&#92;. my documents is only a folder to keep docs, pictures and videos.

This is a difficult one. I am going to assume that you are using XP professional and that you may be a student using a computer in a lab or some one working at a major company with large network and IT budget, or some one like a parent/sibling is trying to stop you from changing settings there in folder options.\n\nIn XP there is a program called Group policy editor and one of the things you can disable with it is the folder options menu. If the account you are logged in with is not an administrative account you might be lost already. If you are logged in with an account htat has administrative priovelages then goto START and then RUN.\n\ntype in GPEDIT.MSC. if you see a message about access denied then your'e out of luck. A setting in Group policy editor can be set to dissallow the use of group policy editor.\n\nIf you can get into group policy editor then you are moments away from that FOLDER OPTIONS menu.\n\nGo into GPEDIT using the instructions above (Start > run etc)\n\nExpand user configuration by click on the + sign next to it(if it's a minus just leave it). Now expand ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES and the Expand WINDOWS COMPONENTS and the WINDOWS EXPLORER. click on the WINDOWS EXPLORER folder. See there are many settings.\n\nRIGHT click on REMOVES THE FOLDER OPTIONS MENU ITEM FROM THE TOOLS MENU and select PROPERTIES.\n\nClick the option box DISABLED and then click APPLY(just in case) and then OK.then goto FILE and EXIT. Restart your PC and it should be there.

This always happens to those who have notexperienced it.\nYou should ahve stored the files you needed on a cd and reload it after you reinstalled your XP.

It is usually under Document and Settings ---> Your windows login ID ---> Application Data ---> Mozilla ----> Profiles ----> weird file name with numbers\n\nGo to your explorer and you can find it easily.

I use an incoming folder which has a icon on my desktop. Then when they are downloaded to there I can do anti virus on them before sending them to my documents folder. Doing it this way one doesn't slip through to my documents before i've run anti virus on it.

Go to C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/History and clear all files over there. This will help you out.

Not knowing what version of Windows you are using. Explorer uses IE to open up folders. that could be what you're seeing.

there is no way you can prevent this, the only thing to do it manually delete the files after you ran the uninstall

It sounds like you have a virus, or Windows XP is just being it's normal self and stuffing up.\n\nYou can try the following...\nOpen the program that the file is used in ( ie: .xls file opens with Excel, .doc opens with Word ) then use the File > Open buttons to open the file that way.\n\nOr find the file you want to open, hold down the shift button while right clicking on the file, and click on open with, choose the program.\n\nYou may want to run a repair, or uninstall, restart, then reinstall the software you use, and last of all, if all else fails, do a reinstall on Windows XP.
