C:\winnt\system32

[Loren Leader]

Does anyone know of a hack , bug, spyware or whatever that
would make my C:\winnt\system32 window popup on every
logon?? It happens in my logon or as administrator. I
havve scaned and swept my registry and files but something
continues to make the window open first thing when I
logon. Thanks for any assistance.

Probably there is something under a Run reg key or the Startup program menu
that lives in %windir%\system32. I can think of a couple of reasons that
Explorer would fire up instead of an app. One possibility is that the name
of the file has spaces in it and isn't quoted. Another is that the file has
an unknown extension.
