My system32 window opens every time I boot-up the computer. I tried typing
msconfig at run and hitting the startup tab. This gives me about 10 files.
How do I tell which file is causing the window to open? How do I go about
correcting the problem?

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. It can also
be caused by an entry in these same keys that starts with a " / ."
