Hi,

>> the night before last it opened straight from the desk top
Because something changed and it looks like you don't know what changed.
If you want to know if your AutoCAD profile is defect or the AutoCAD installation has defects it's a good option to run tests with a different Windows user account to make sure you don't kill your AutoCAD settings.
You can ignore the test with login as different user and simple kill/reset your current AutoCAD profile even if you don't know if it's the source of the issue.
Here you can find how to reset the AutoCAD profile: >>>click<<<
