Folders open on startup

My computer seems to be running fine but every time I restart my computer, three folders open. One each for my printer, graphic card and firefox.

Any ideas on this?

I scanned for viruses but found nothing.

In Windows explorer, go to Tools, and then click the View tab. Scroll down to the 4th from the last checkbox - it should be "Restore previous folder windows at login". If that box is checked, Windows will open folders that it thinks were open when you start up the computer.

I just checked that option and the box was not checked. Any other ideas?

Are there shortcuts to these folders in your startup folder? Sometimes programs do that.
