Default At Startup, Visio opens all INSTALL files for stored programs

Had this problem with Visio2010 with Vista and thought it was me. Now system
upgraded to Win7. Upgrade to Visio2007. Worked fine first time opened it.
Second time it searched system and started executing ALL of the setup files
stored on drives. Programs I haven't used in years. Only way to stop it is
through Task Manager. Now I have a critical diagram in Visio and no way to
finish it. Any ideas on what is causing????

Open the registry editor:
Look at path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\13.0\V isio\Application
and then check key "StartUpPath". Visio will run every executable file it can find under
this path. Make sure it isn't set to a very high level path.
