Every once in a while, when i start up my computer it opens a finder window. Whenever it does this i noticed that there is a folder entitled 'Recovery Files' in the trash. Is there anyway to prevent the window from opening automatically? Is the folder causing the problem or is it something else entirely?

In case it makes a difference i have OSX 10.4.2

Did you have a Finder window open when you restarted or shutdown the computer? That has happened to me.

Happens to me on occasion, usually when I have to force restart my Mac....
