Hi Jim,

Please see:

System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

Also, start/run msconfig, and see if there is a line that loads /L:ENG. If
so, disable it. It comes from a SoundBlaster Audigy driver, but should not
affect that hardware. You can also repair the registry entry if you like by
removing the leading space in the string that loads it.

However, it can also be caused by other incorrectly built registry strings.
Could you please export and post the contents of these keys in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do this one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose edit, it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.

Hi,
I've got a similar problem. Since upgrading from ME to XP Pro, on startup, two copies of 'My Documents' open every time any user logs into my computer, plus one copy of Roxio's Easy CD Creator

Picking up on "Nutcase's" advice to Jim, I have run msconfig and managed to stop the Roxio Program from opening, by unchecking a couple of boxes in msconfig/start, but have had no joy so far as 'My Documents' are concerned. Any advice

Many thanks

Pau

Hi again,

I found the answer to my problem, posted by Doug in Windows XP Basics. Thanks Doug.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

In the right pane, locate the Userinit value. It should read:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

Including the comma at the end. If not, right click the Userinit value and change it.
