Just recently after my pc has booted a system 32 folder opens. I can close it again with no apparent problem but how can i stop it from opening in the first place

Does it open everytime you start windows?

Here is a simple explination, however I think it might be something else..

... check your startup folder, if there is a shortcut to System32 ... delete the shortcut in the startup folder... be carefull, dont delete your SYSTEM32 FOLDER

>Start>AllPrograms>Startup>

yes it opens everytime i start my pc and no it is not in the start up folder

You can either edit the registry manually as per my link or use Bear's link to do it automatically.

Kellys korner says unable to fix and windows support describes my problem but their suggestions do not tally with my pc
