Multiple Explorer shells on startup

ok will give that a go thanks

ok did that but didn't report any errors

the only thing I can think that may be causing it is that we're using Faronics Deep Freeze as the pc is part of a village hall suite and all the pcs have it installed but this one used to be the server and I think it has the Deep Freeze Admin loaded at startup I'm somewhat loath to try uninstalling as we don't have the installation media to reload!
