Are you saying that when you start Windows Word loads and opens an existing
document? Is there a shortcut to that document in the Windows Startup folder? -- Suzanne S.

Remove the Word shortcut from the Windows Startup folder. Hi Suzanne, I'm having this same problem -- I noticed it after an auto-update on XP Professional two weeks or so ago. Auto-updates sometimes make the PC reboot if you're not around to stop it (not that you'd want to...). When I logged into my PC after this forced reboot, the first thing I noticed was that Word opened, although the document it was opening wasn't visible, but then it closes again. I'm an educated user -- been using word since the days when mice were hooked to the serial port of a PC. I admit I'm not aware of how this is happening under XP. There is _no_ shortcut in my startup folder (that I can see, anyway). The "Microsoft office" shortcut was there, but I've since removed it to no effect. I've booted a couple of times to see what's going on in the Task Manager -- in fact, I see that EXCEL.exe and POWERPNT.exe are also running around the same time that my Word window appears, although they never show up as running applications. My anti-virus is up to date, my firewall has always been turned on, I never open attachments. I doubt it's a trojan horse or any spyware - I use Firefox and not IE. Any other ideas of where to look? |
