I have the system32 window popping up when ever I start up windows. It doesn't do anything, just pops up after a restart or full start up. It's just annoying that's all... Any one have a clue on where to look for to stop this???
Thanks...

yes go to Start->Run and type in msconfig and click OK. Then click on the startup programs tab on the top right and you probably have an entry in the list it pulls up that just says c:\windows\system32 and that's it. If so just uncheck it, click OK and reboot. Lemme know if this is it.
