If you're having a problem with your System32 folder popping up every time you get to your Windows desktop, try this...

Open your registry(Start/Run../regedit), goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

On the right you will probably see a registry key with "" as the value - that's the problem.
(Example: WorksFUD REG_SZ "")

Back up your registry(and make a windows repair disk if possible), then delete the key. Should fix the prob. It most likely won't affect anything, since the registry key didn't do anything to start with...
