This is proabaly the most annoying thing that I have on my pc righ tnow.. when I start my pc, and I click on a person to log in (in xp) where its says "loading personal settings" it says there for about 3-4 min!!! and then all fo the sudden everything is loaded up on my desktop and a erro message tells me that it couldnt open "openme.exe" and I should search for it... I checked EVERYWHERE for an automatic start up for suck a file but I dont see it anywhere...
any ideas???

Please post a list of "everywhere".
I can only think of the StartUp folder and Runx keys in the registry.
Even msconfig.exe doesn't show it?
well what do you know...

I think I read something about this in a PC mag a while back. The article said it boiled down to a network hub, or something to do with the Internet. I'll try to find it (if I'm not feeling to lazy :p).
Fianlly got rid of it.. the problem was hidden inside the registry!
if anybody has the same problem just do this:
Go to Start then Run
Run the program "regedit"
Search the registry for "openme.exe"
It should find it in a line of the registry which says "explorer.exe openme.exe"
Just edit that line to say only "explorer.exe"
Done!

I would like to know the name of the key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinlogonQuote:

the key is called "Shell" and it should only say Explorer.exe

I'll say this much:
I was surprised to find a Windows NT key on my Windows 98 installation.
Thanks for listing the key.
