System 32 pop up.

[Guest]

After start up before I can access any files or programs ,System 32 pops up in the middle of the desktop with warning of not to alter it.By clicking on the X it disappears and does not bother me for the remainder of my session at the computer
Is this normal? Should I do anything about it? It isn't any worse than the MS pop ups! I would appreciate some advise
Thanks; Bill.

Hi there Bill,

Try patch from Kelly to fix this problem, download from here:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/xp_system32opens.vbs

Usage: Download the file to your computer and simply
double-click it so that it would automatically get
installed. Norton anti-virus software might warn you of
a "malicious" script, this is normal if you have "Script
Safe" or similar technology enabled. I recommend you to
choose "Authorize entire script" option next Action.

Also see here for manual instructions:

Greetings --

This can be caused by a blank entry, such as can be left behind by
an incomplete program removal, in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and/or
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys.
