ATI folder opens at startup

Every time I restart computer, the /ATI folder (containing SUPPORT folder)
opens on its own! This is right after reinstalling windows (WinMe) and
installing cat3.8 and MMC8.7. It only started after MMC was installed (not
after cat3.8). Any ideas? I only get auto responses from ATI. Searched
this newsgroup; saw a few others had this problem. Repairing the
installations didn't work.

Pretty hard to answer without at least knowing what OS you're running. Have
you checked all the MMC options? Have you checked your Start Up folder?
Have you checked the registry for start up programs?

These are just quick ideas off the top of my head.

You can simply delete the folder. Everything you need to run is already
installed elsewhere.

Damn...and I get annoyed when other people don't thoroughly read posts.

WinMe, yes Nothing in startup folder. There are other problems that are
probably related: ATI scheduler and launchpad never seem to run at startup.
I have the opposite of the usual problem-- scheduler and launchpad show up
in task manager, but they aren't working! I get the "ATI scheduler is not
running" popup every time, and launchpad doesn't come up. This is all quite
absurd...

opens on its own! This is right after reinstalling windows (WinMe) and

(not

Those are the files temporanely used for the drivers intallation, just erase
the root of the folder that pops up and you'll be done!

Actually I had done that before & it works but didn't fix some underlying
problem, which was the reason the folder was opening to begin with, and
presumably why I have other problems like scheduler and remote wonder
refusing to run at startup. I actually got a new email reply from ATI and
I'm going to try that!

Wow so this is still going on? I have a similar problem. I have a
c:\Program Files\ATI folder (where I store ATI demos, scrnsavers, etc)
opening at boot every time I install new ATI cat drivers. I found the
registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run has
the ATIPTA key set to C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control
Panel\atiptaxx.exe ... and when I enclosed that in " " quotes
everything was fixed.

Ok I have that registry key too but it's already in quotes, as are all of
the ones in that folder. I'm not sure what you mean.
