SYMPTOMS
========

Each time you start Windows 95, one or more instance of Windows Explorer starts,
displaying the root folder of drive C.

This may occur even though there are no instances of Windows Explorer open when
you shut down Windows 95.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if two or more spaces separate commands on the "Load="
or "Run=" line in the Win.ini file, or if there is a comma at the end of the
"Load=" or "Run=" line.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, use any text editor (such as Notepad) to open the Win.ini
file in the Windows folder. Check the "Load=" and "Run=" lines and remove any
extra spaces between commands, and remove any comma from the end of either line.
When you are done, save the Win.ini file, quit the editor, and restart Windows
95.
