System32 Opens on Desktop

[Tim]

The System32 folder opens on my Desktop after each time
rebooting of the computer. Some where in my Startup
folder I must have something pointing to this directory.

Please help me resolve this issue.

Thank You,

Dan

Hi Dan,

System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

However, there are a few other possible causes. Could you please export and
post the contents of these keys in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do this one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose edit, it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.

Tim,

If Rick's advise does not help -- run Regedit, search for
"DesktopProcess" key, and delete it (if exists).

Delete also the contents of
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RestartCommands
key.
