Can someone tell me why when i startup my computer after i sign in and the main screen comes up with the icons the system 32 screen pops up, how do i get that to stop, help help
 
Hi,

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.

I tried the advice below and it didn't work for me, although I'm sure it
does for others. I tried Bruce Chambers advice to the letter, also
without success (but with thanks for his help). To say I was annoyed,
does not quite express how I felt about the constant popup of the Sys32
file. I felt like the guy in the Paris sewers--hounded.

There was light at the end, however, and I wish I could remember the
name of the kind soul who rescued my sanity. The advice was, turn off
the startup item in msconfig, then destroy it in HKey-local-machine
\software\microsoft\shared tools\msconfig.There are wonderful people on
this server, and I thank you all because it must be like a superior
tennis player playing with duffers.
