Hey Nutcase,
That did the trick thanks.
FYI The "restore previous folder windows at logon" was already
unchecked.
Did the msconfig bit but ' Mr XP monster' told me I had to be an
administrator but seemed to work OK on reboot.
On reboot did come up and tell me I had to re activate windows over the
internet. Did it anyway no probs. NAV loaded now OK. Still very slow on
load but faster than before. Set back to normal reboot and seems good to
go. Included the registry entires just in case ypu spot a howler!

Hi,
This can be caused by leftovers from cleaning up spyware as well. Try
this:
Control Panel/Folder Options/View tab, uncheck the line "restore
previous folder windows at logon". Click apply/ok, do not reboot yet.
Start/run msconfig, on the general tab select the diagnostic mode.
Click apply/ok and reboot at prompted.
The folder should not show up now. Rerun msconfig, put the system back
in normal mode. Click apply/ok and reboot once more. Does this help?
For most users, this will resolve the issue. For some that still have
registry damage it will not. If this is the case, 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.\

Frank,
Thanks. I tried it and I get the message.
'The script cannot repair your issue. The expected registry value was
not found'
Great page though going into my favourites for sure.
Hi,
For some reason my XP professional has started to load up the system
32
folder at start-up and I want to stop it . In addition my Norton
Anti Virus
has stopped loading at start-up. I have confirmed that it is setup
correctly. When I load it manually I have no problem.The whole
start-up has
slowed down.
It may have started after I loaded the BTYahoo help utility which I
have now
un installed.
I regularly scan for viruses, spyware etc and my machine is clear.
Any ideas?
Emjaykay

Opens
Upon Boot". Download this repair file and then run the repair.
