The system 32 folder launches in windows everytime I startup my computer. I
have Windows XP home edition. Is there anyway to stop this folder from
launching everytime I startup my computer?? Thanks.

For other Windows XP issues, you should post to a windows XP
newsgroup.

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 " / ."

And, in the future, you might want to consider posting in the correct
newsgroup; this one is for Windows Vista.
