loginshortcut

About this tag
The loginshortcut tag on WindowsForum.com covers user questions about unexpected behavior when logging into Windows, such as the system opening a file explorer window or navigating to a specific folder instead of the desktop. Discussions focus on identifying what causes the login process to redirect to a non-default location, troubleshooting startup programs, and restoring normal login behavior. The tag is relevant for Windows users seeking help with login-related shortcuts or redirections that affect their desktop experience.

  1. Can anyone tell me what makes my computer login to a page other than my Desktop?

    That's the problem, every time I log in it goes to my external hard drive and I want it to load to my Desktop? I want it to just load to my Desktop, it has been doing this for quite a while but I haven't found what is causing it! Mike
