@PoorGirl, what is the "actual" name of the Folder that Opens, is it something like: Computer : WhatEverName (C:) : Program. ???And then you see an Explorer window pointing to an actual folder named: Program ?
@Ivo, if this is the case for PoorGirl, or depending on the Name of the Folder opened by the Explorer window, this may be related to an very VERY OLD problem dating back to the Windows 95/98 days where if someone had both "C:\Program Files" AND also a "C:\Program" folders, some shareware opened a "C:\Program" Explorer windows when running their launcher or code. This usually happened with International versions of Windows (outside the US) where in some countries Microsoft Windows installed SOME software in a default folder simply named "C:\Program".
I will stop here in case this does not pan out, but if it does, in the early 2000 (probably 1998-1999), I had a web page explaining in detail this problem.
