    Whenever I log in, my C drive starts/opens up. I've checked the start up folder, and theres nothing there that would indicate the C drive will open at start up. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    everything seems to be correct, in the start up options; here is a pic of the registry startup
    don't know what 8, 9, and 10 are; are they normal startups for the system

    where

    there are 4 pages in startup CPL for startup
    • HKLM
    • HKCU
    • Startup (Common)
    • Startup (User)
    3 of them are in the registry (HKLM, HKCU & Startup (Common)) and 1 on the start menu (Startup (User))

    are you counting the rows from top to bottom ?
    if yes
    • NvCplDaemon
    • NvMediaCentre
    • nwiz
    these are programs for your grfx card, nv - denotes NVidea

    they are things like ATI Control Panel in the Systray (bottom right corner of screen, next to the clock) so they should be there

    try looking in the Win.ini and System.ini assuming you've checked all tabs in Startup CPL
