You have a tartup entry that is missing Quotation marks.

Look in these two places in the Registry,

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurentVersion\Run

Look for an entry that contains

c:\program files\msn......

When found put quotation mark around it. If this is a switch at the end of
the line , for example

c:\program files\msn messenger\somefile.exe /switch

then the quotation marks would go here

"c:\program files\msn messenger\somefile.exe" /switch

Every time I boot up my cpu, this folder opens automatically. C:\Program
Files\MSN Some times it opens very quickly so I my desktop only flashes for
a second, other times it takes a minute or so to open and until it does, I
cannot open any other items.
