System 32 folder opens with start-up?

[Joe]

Any idea why the System 32 folder opens with startup? I
also have an iexplore program shutdown problem which may
be related.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

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.
