Rick,
Your instructions have already been very helpful. By
using the line from Kelly'sKorner I was able to remove the
system 32 file folder on start up. By I still have the
AOL Instant Messenger screen name and the AOL sign on menu
along with the McAfee scan center notice all of which show
up at boot-up. Can you help me remove these? I have
followed your instructions and copied both of the keys you
suggested from the registry.

Hi Bob,
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. It
comes from a SoundBlaster Audigy driver, and it can cause this problem as
well. If it exists, use the registry fix from MVP Kelly:
Line 260 on the right:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
It's far easier than mucking about in the registry. The problem can also be
caused by other incorrectly built registry strings. So, if the first two
steps don't help you, could you please export and post the contents of these
keys in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi on\Run
n\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.
