Question : WinXP - Desktop folder appears at user login

Dell Inspiron 530 running WIN/XP SP3.  

I’ve been cleaning up a client’s computer and it’s almost ready to go.  But now suddenly whenever I log on to a userid a folder appears showing the contents of the desktop.

Among other things I set up a second id on this computer, setting the customer’s primary id as a limited one and the new one as administrative.  I did this well before the desktop folder problem occurred but I thought I’d mention it.  The desktop thing happens on either id.

I’ve checked MSCONFIG, startup items for both users and ‘all users’, taken a look using ‘hijack this’ and even downloaded and ran the sysinternals autoruns program.  Though I must admit with that program I’m not sure what I’m looking for and I may have overlooked something in hijack this.  There’s lots of stuff starting there. Just for the heck of it I cleared out the windows ‘prefetch’ folder too.  Didn’t help.  Why does this stuff always happen just when you're ready to send a machine out the door?  Drives me crazy.  

Thanks,
Al

Depends how bad it looks. Most editors like Premiere or Pinnacle or Corel Video Studio offer "Color Correction", which encompasses Hue, Saturation, Brightness, Contrast and Gamma. But you have said that it's "not very readable" -- and, as you know, you can't polish cow dung. I know there's a stack of people who have stuck to Camtasia with its huge AVI (outdated format container) files and it's periodical glitches and grainy recording.
