Hi,

Looking for some advice. When I open desk top now, I find overlay of
System32 folders. Is this a registry problem? If so, How do I fix?

Information by Bruce Chambers:

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.

I guess I should have checked your post before adding my own. ;-}
Thanks for covering for me, though.

Well, I look in registry where Article 170086 suggested and it showed the
following. Some have " marks around them; some don't. So is that the error?

For example, under there is this with no quote marks anywhere

Value 2
name: OfotoNow USB Detection
type: Reg_SZ
data: C:\WINDOWS\System32\RunDLL32.exe
C:\PROGRA~1\Ofoto\OfotoNow\OFUSBS.DLL,WatchForConnection OfotoNow


Would this be the culprit?
