Go to Start/Run- type in MSCONFIG, go to STARTUP tab, uncheck item if you can identify what it might be. D/L, install, update and run both Spybot S&D and AdAware (both free. Find on Google). Does the folder have a name? If above doesn't work, D/L and install 30 day free trial of RegCrawler, type folder name in its search box. The program will bring up any registry references to the folder and you can delete.
