How do I stop the Windows\system32 folder to starup each
time I boot the computer.

This is usually due to an invalid entry in the startup settings.
Applications that start with Windows can be found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
See also "How to Troubleshoot By Using the Msconfig Utility in Windows
XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310560).
 
Look through all those and everything looks to be in
order.

Hello,

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"

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,

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.

Hello,

Tried that as well and didn't work. Really don't know why.

Thanks.
