When ever I boot my computer and the desktop loads the last loads and my
Documents & Settings my profile opens. What causes this and how do I
prevent it?

Go to start/run, and type:
%userprofile%

This is probably what you will find in one of the command lines for one of
your startup app. I would look over the Run keys in the registry.

HKEY_Current_User/.... AND
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

Something is starting. I would use Autoruns to try to find it, and it's
broken command line. My first suspect is always one of the broken anti-virus
apps.

AutoRuns for Windows v8.61:

Maybe turning off each autostarting app one by one would get it on process
of elimination. Run MSCONFIG.exe. The Startup tab has checkboxes for that.

disabling some of the new ones with no luck. It is annoying, but does no
real harm loading so if I have to I will live with this problem. Thanks.
