folder problems

[Susanne]

Hi I have a problem at startup a folder that contains my
ATI graphics card drivers opens up. This occurs every time
I start win XP pro. I have looked in the startup programs
folder but this ATI folder is not in it, does anyone have
any ideas how to stop it opening up??

Please help

Did you look at the startup on the programs menu? or the
startup group in the System Configuration Utility?

To get to the System Configuration Utility, go to Start -
Run - and type Msconfig. Then go to the startup tab up at
the top.

There is a free program called Starter that is very good at controlling
Startup Programs. It can be downloaded here:

Good Luck

Hi Bongo thug,

Please see:

System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

Also, start/run msconfig, and see if there is a line that loads /L:ENG. If
so, disable it. It comes from a SoundBlaster Audigy driver, but should not
affect that hardware. You can also repair the registry entry if you like by
removing the leading space in the string that loads it.

However, it 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.
