Default ATI folder opens at startup

After installing an ATI tv wonder with the Software (Version 9.1), whenever
i boot my system, windows explorer opens to the ati support folder on my
hard drive.... i looked in the usual places like the startup folder and the
run key of the HKLU and HKLM...can find it anywhere..any ideas....not a big
deal, but it is driving me nuts..

So what happens if you rename or move the folder?

Had the same problem a while back. When installing a computer for my nephew
(WinXP and Win98 dual boot), I installed the Win98 control panel in an
alternate directory (not the standard path) after first reboot the ATI
folder opened instead of an information window that shows up normally. I
uninstalled the control panel and re-installed in the standard path on drive
D:. After that all was normal again.
There has to be a reg key somewhere (maybe in the ATI software) but I too
didn't find it.
