Folder opens with Windows XP

[Bill]

The system32 folder opens each time Windows XP starts up.
I have tried running a script previous offered on the
Kellys-Korner site but it makes reference to "Audigy 2"
in the windows registry. This does not exist in my
registry. Any clues?

check the autostart-folder and run-entries in your registry and add " in
front and after all references to applications in that dir.

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

Hi Bill,

Please see:

The problem can also be caused by other incorrectly built registry strings.
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.

Start - Run MSconfig.exe

Look on the startup page for any line where either the Command column is
blank, or where it starts with a symbol like / or : - the common one
is one put there by the Audigy drivers: that is /L:ENG The only non
alphanumeric starting symbol you are likely to find in a legitimate line
is %

Uncheck the box for this line. Exit - do not bother to reboot, but next
time you do there will be a message about 'Troubleshooting'. Check the
'Do not show again' box and exit
