System32 on startup??????

Comment:

I keep getting the system32 folder opening on startup. Before any1 asks i do not have a dell and in the system config there is no L:ENG thing. There is a couple of things with no name and in the command collumn there is a c:\WINDOWS\System32\ which looks a bit dodgy. is it those i should delete???

system32 folder opens when logging on to windows http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=170086 look for a null, incomplete, or damaged key in the Registry in this area: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run if found, delete it. and there are other cases mentioned in the article that may apply also if you have a sound blaster audigy 2 sound card, see: tip 260: system32 folder opens upon boot www.kellys-korner.com/xp_tweaks.htm
