Running XP Home with sp2, recently the system32 folder displays when I
startup my pc. This despite ticking the box "Do not show hidden folders and
files." Can anyone help me to keep this system32 folder hidden?
Grateful for any assistance, terrymcd

This can be caused by a blank entry, such as can be left behind by
an incomplete program removal, in the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and/or
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys. It can also
be caused by an entry in these same keys that starts with a " / ."
