System 32 folder Opens on Startup

Feb 23, 2004 1:40AM PST

I recently started getting the System32 folder opening every time I start my computer. I have 3 users on XP Pro and the same folder pops up each time we log on. Any ideas what may be causing this?

Thanks

I recently had something similar happen to me. I used a registry editor on hubby's puter. He used it the rest of the night, then when it restarted the next day, I couldn't understand why my documents opened. I had forgotten about the registry tool. I restored it to the day before, it was fine. This ended up happening again, it was then that I put 2 and 2 togather.
