Question : My Documents keep opening up when I log in to a computer

The issue is after I upgraded from Windows XP Sp2 to SP3, the My Documents folder keeps coming up.
I checked the registry for any instances of opening My Documents with no success.
I also did a complete spyware scan using Spybot, which removed some items, yet did not yield the result I was looking for.
I also Checked under
Control Panel,
Folder Options,
View
Remember Each Folders View Settings
Restore previous folder windows at logon
Having those checked or unchecked have the same result
Also happens with a different user logs into the computer as well
