You sure you left an explorer window open? I don't really mind where it opens either but it's a byproduct of me wanting my folder of currently-watching TV series open on boot.

Mine's also a clean install of RTM (en-GB) Pro. Literally installed it yesterday on the desktop.

Yes - definitely left an Explorer Windows open -- rebooted several times and double checked the setting was "ticked" just to make sure. No worries here though -- I rarely reboot and like most have said here in this thread -- it is just not that hard to click the desktop tile.

I use Vistart and love it, combined with the skip metro suite it makes the experience much better :)
