The only othe thing I can suggest is to disable all startup items other than your antivirus (and firewall if you are usihg a third party firewall), then restart, see if the folder shows. If not, renable the startup items one by one , test by restarting etc. Hopefully you will find the one causing the problem. You can use msconfig to disable strtup items (click start, run, type msconfig, click Ok or press enter. In the system configuration utility window that opens, startup tab, uncheck the items

Often if a Windows Explorer Window opens at start up it is because the path to one of the startup programs contains a non-system folder whose name has a space in it and if in the registry the path to that item is not enclosed in "".

If IE responds more quickly with addons disabled, close IE, then in Control panel, Internet options, programs tab, click manage addons. Disable

Unfortunately your links don't work. If you want to post a file here you should load it onto any free webserver (Imageshack, for example) and post the URL to the file. Or just paste the error events (the ones with a red circle with white cross) into your post here (not the information events).

On restart, check in event viewer, there may be an error event recorded (unless the error occurred during shut down, but after event logger was already shut down).

Also repeat for system events. If you see an error event dated from when the crash occurrred, double click on it to open its description. You can try the link for
