1. Start>Run
2. Type "regedit" and enter
3. Propogate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

4. In the right pane, right-click Userinit, and then click Modify.

5. In the String dialog box, type C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe under Value data, and then click OK. (I am assuming that you installed Windows in C drive. The drive letter may vary depending upon where you installed Windows)

6. Now propogate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

7. In the right pane, right-click PersistBrowsers, and then click Modify.

8. In the DWORD Value dialog box, type 0 under Value data, and then click OK.

9. Exit Registry editor

10. Log-off Windows and Log-in again, "My Documents" will not open automatically now.

Your problem must be solved if you follow all these exactly.

Ya, trojans do tamper registry. Or, it may be after effect of the trojan removal too. I assumed that he doesn't have any infection and said him the correction. If trojan exists in his system, he would revert back with same problem again.
