I tried the aoutomatic fix, and got this message "this script cannot repair
your issue. The expected Registry value was not found."

I am too initmidated to try the manual fix, after reading all the warnings
about screwing up my system.

Anymore suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

sccola,

xp_system32opens.vbs is looking for the value SB Audigy 2 Startup Menu
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Since the script didn't find SB Audigy 2 Startup Menu, you received,
"This script cannot repair your issue. The expected Registry value was not
found."

This fix, obviously, doesn't fix everything related to System32 Folder Opens
When...

Go here and read the instructions...
System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

Open the Registry Editor...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to >>>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Right click on the Run folder and select Export.
An Export Registry File window will popup.
Click Desktop in the left hand pane.
Type HKCU in the File name box.
Click the V in the Save as type box and select Text Files (*.txt).
Click the Save button.
A file named HKCU.txt will appear on your Desktop.

Navigate to >>>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Right click on the Run folder and select Export.
An Export Registry File window will popup.
Click Desktop in the left hand pane.
Type HKLM in the File name box.
Click the V in the Save as type box and select Text Files (*.txt).
Click the Save button.
A file named HKLM.txt will appear on your Desktop.

Close the Registry Editor.

Copy and paste all the text from HKCU.txt and HKLM.txt into a message and
post back. Someone will help you find the goofy entry causing the problem.

You will see something simalar too this...
Key Name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

I only included a couple of entries.
