Hello Kevin,
1) This behavior can occur if a null entry (such as ""),
incomplete entry (such as "), or damaged entry exists
in the values in these two registry keys:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- Ensure that all paths containing space characters
are wrapped in double-quotation marks. For example,
c:\Program Files\program.exe
should be
"c:\Program Files\program.exe"
NOTE: To open the registry editor,
[Start]
| Run |
regedit
[Enter]
2) Also check each shortcut in the Startup folders for
"the current user" and for "All users".
- For the "current user" entries in the start menu,
Right-click [Start] | Explore | Startup |
- For the "all users" entries in the start menu,
Right-click [Start] | Explore All Users | Startup |
- In turn, right-click each shortcut | Properties |
Then click [Find Target...] to verify that the
"Target:" field is valid.
3) If everything is in order, then
I suggest you visit MS-MVP Kelly's website at

Note the instructions at the top of the page,
then scroll down to line 260,
(System32 Folder Opens Upon Boot)
Right-click the hyperlink, then click | Save Target As |
to download the file, "xp_system32opens.vbs",
then double-click the file and follow the prompts.
