Startup Problem - System32 Folder

[Guest]

The System32 folder opens automatically whenever i start my laptop
This happen since yesterday after i installed a couple of applications i.e
ICQ and Yahoo Messenger (which i have uninstalled). It doesn't affect the
system in any way yet.

I scaned the system with antivirus - perfectly OK.

Anybody can assist on how to solve the above problem??

Thanks,

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 " / ."
