System 32 folder opens on Startup

Hi! Desperately hoping someone can help me..Here are results from attempts
to implement other posted suggestions:

Ran "System32 Folder Opens Upon Boot" from
www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and recv'd msg "Script cannot repair
your issue. The expected registry value was not found."

Not sure if I did this correctly, but tried to access the registry by
running both Regedit.exe & Regedt32.exe. Recv'd msg "Registry editing has
been disabled by your administrator". I'm the administrator but don't
remember disabling or know how to enable editing.

Any other suggestions?

Start in safe mode and run regedit. if it doesn't work you need to rn a virus
scan because it sounds like someone or something has modified your user
rights.

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 " / ."
