Windows Explorer

[Guest]

I have three login's on my computer, myself, wife, kids. This only happens
when I log in. Windows Explorer starts up in Windows/System32 folder. This
happens every time with out fail and only on my log in.

I have checked the StartUP menu, WIN.ini, System.ini, regestry hives
*/software/microsoft/current version.run, autoexec.bat. Cannot find anything
that is causing Explorer to start up.

What am I missing!!!!?????

HELP!!!!!

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down
to Item No. 260. In the right column, click on "System32 Folder Opens
Upon Boot". Download this repair file and then run the repair.

Hi,

Here are some checkpoints for you to consider:

This is a known issue for owners of an SB Audigy 2 sound card. Re-enable
the item in MSConfig.
Then see www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 260, Left column for a
small utility that will correct this for you. The problem is caused by a
leading space before the /L:ENG. This causes the problem, the script
corrects it.

If this is not the case, see:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

Verify that all the values in these keys do not contain any incorrect,
incomplete, or null entries (such as ""). Also make sure that all entries
that have spaces are included within quotes. These values can be checked
here: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
