Win32.Startpage.QQ???

[Guest]

Thx Bill.
While I have you,can I ask something else please?.When I'm booting up (just
during the past 2 weeks only)before anything starts to load,the first thing
that loads is my System32 screen,all of it.Then all the programs load as
normal.So,I wait until it's finished booting and then just X out the Sys32
screen.What I can't figure is WHY it has started to do that everyday.Any
ideas on this sire?.I've used the Properties/Tools for C drive to set in
motion the checkdisc feature.Also use a program called TuneXP which requires
putting the original XP CD in the drive and it checks every windows
file/folder to make sure nothing has been lost,faulty.So,the drive is A-Okay
but the System32 screen with all the folders still comes up every
time.Appreciate your opinion on how to rectify this fault.Thx Bruce(SS)

That's one that I've heard of, but not seen recently:

from:

www.bootdisk.com/xptop20.htm

a windows explorer window appears which is c:\windows\system32.

A. System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows:

One (or both) of these links ought to fix this for you.
