Hi,

Please visit the KB Article # 170086 "System32 Folder Opens When Logging on
to Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0" at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=170086

I have pasted the resolution from the KB Article for your reference.

CAUSE
=======
This behavior can occur if a null, incomplete, or damaged entry exists in
the registry.

RESOLUTION
=============
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using
Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Use Registry Editor to view the following two Windows registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Verify that all the values in these keys do not contain any incorrect,
incomplete, or null entries (such as "").

MORE INFORMATION
====================
An incorrect entry in the following registry value has been confirmed to
cause the behavior described above:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value: ActiveMovie File Extensions
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: ActMovie.exe /Check

If the value data for this entry is null or appears in Registry Editor as
quotation marks, you may experience the problem described above. To correct
the problem, change the value data to match the entry above or delete the
ActiveMovie File Extensions value.

This behavior can also occur if the Reminder value that has "" next to it
is in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run


You can resolve this behavior by deleting the Remainder value.

If you are uncertain whether an entry is incorrect or incomplete, you may
want to delete all entries other than the default Windows entry. The
following entry to run the System Tray is the only required Windows default
entry:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value: SystemTray
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: SysTray.exe


Hope this helps ...... :)
