System 32 Folder Automatically Opens when logging in

S

S

When anyone on my computer logs on to their account, the
System 32 folder opens automatically and displays it's
contents. Could you tell me why?

Hi S,

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.

There is no reason for anything like a FONT to be listed in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

And the first part of these entries translates into:

c:\WINDOWS\System32\ .normaltext_verdana or similar.

Right click the Run key and select Export, to create a backup REG file. Then delete the two values that relate to the font entries.
