I had searched last night and not found a solution, so I posted the question
to the group. Did some more searching today and found this info:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/stfolder.htm
Even though that web page was specifically about a Symantec folder opening,
I found a similar reference to my Samsung folder in my registry and placed
it in quotes. Problem solved. :-)

Subject: [H] How do I stop a program folder from appearing on desktop?
I purchased a Samsung YP-U1Z mp3 player this past weekend and installed the
software. The software was basically two things: an audio player and a
firmware updater. Every time I boot my PC, a window opens on the desktop
that shows the contents of the folder where the firmware updater program is
stored. It is a windows explorer window showing the path c:\Program
Files\Audio\Samsung. It is not executing the program, just opening the
folder.
I have looked in the Startup folders for each user account, but see
nothing there that would open this folder. I have looked in msconfig at
the startup tab and see nothing referencing this path. What would cause
this Program folder to just open each time the computer boots?
