When you say: Windows "System32 file" I'm assuming that you mean Windows System32 "folder"

Anyway, this Windows System32 "folder" popping up at each boot is a fairly common problem for users of Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and XP operating systems. It's caused by an erroneous entry in one of the Registry keys that control programs launched at start-up.

The good news is that there is an 'easy fix' available at Kellys-Korner-xp.com.

Here's the Solution: Go to this Kellys-Korner link and when you get to that webpage; scroll down to #260 on the right-hand side, and click on the "System32 Folder Opens Upon Boot" entry.

NOTE: To use the VBS Files: Download .vbs file and save it to your hard drive (you may want to right click and use Save Target As). Double click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done.

Good Luck!

 

thanks
