Sound plays automatically

[Helmut Mack]

When my wife's Limited User Account is started, it automatically begins
playing the sound file of a U-tube video clip she looked at on the
Internet a few days ago. There is no program showing in the Task Bar.
The PC works normally while this 4 minute file is playing. This does not
happen without an Internet Connection. I've looked through all the start
folders I could think of to find what might be causing this. Also tried
several Restore Points but the Restore Function failed to work. Thanks
for any Help you can offer. Helmut

Dump the stuff in the Temporary Internet and Temporary files folders.

Win Explorer
Right click drive
Properties
Disk cleanup
____________

Might also...
Start
Run
Type in "msconfig" (no quotes)
Startup tab
and see if something stands out.

If she uses Firefox, and it loads automatically, click Tools, Options,
and on the General tab, change "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my home
page". "Show my windows and tabs from last time" can cause the problems
she is experiencing (after Firefox is started, of course".

Thank you both for your Help. Following your suggestions did not fix the
problem. I now created a new User Account for my wife to get rid of it.
Thanks again,Helmut
