Errors at start-up

[Gary]

When Windows 2000 Professional starts, a box labelled "WJVIEW error"
and containing "Error: Could not execute Main : The system cannot
find the file specified" is displayed on the Desktop.

Using Windows Explorer's "Search for Files and Features", I specify:

*.* (for all files) in the "Search for files or folders named" box
WJVIEW, in the "Contains text" box
"Local harddrives" in the "Look in" box
Under "Search Options", in the "Advanced Options" section, I check the
"Search Subfolders"

After clicking on "Search Now", the "Search Results" window says
"Search is complete. There are no results to display".

How do I get rid of the WJVIEW error?

====================

Also, the System32 folder always opens at start-up. How can I stop it
from opening?

1.) Possibly spyware remnants. Natively you can; Start\Settings\Control
Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer Management(Local)\System
Information\Software Environment\Startup Programs|View|Advanced, then in the
"Location" column, you'll find the path to the "Startup" location either in
the "Startup" directories or from the registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

or copy msconfig from Windows XP

2.) Usually a damaged or otherwise corrupt "Run" key value.
