Startup

[Guest]

When I boot up my PC, for some unknown reason, my system32 files opens. I've
looked through my ini files but can't find the command line that opens this
file on startup. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

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 " / ."
