Hello and Welcome back to PCHF

First, In the explorer window, go to Tools / Options / View tab / uncheck Restore previous folder windows at logon if checked.

If not checked, look at these registry values and see if explorer is listed :
Two main locations exist in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

The Data field lists the program and its associated information. You may right-click on any program and choose delete to prevent it from executing at startup.
