When I boot up the Windows Explorer is open to the System 32 directory.

How can I stop this from happening?
 
This can be due to spyware, etc. Run the cleaners mentioned here:

If this is not the case:

This is a known issue for owners of an SB Audigy 2 sound card. Re-enable
the item in MSConfig.

Then see www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm, Line 260, Left column for a
small utility that will correct this for you. The problem is caused by a
leading space before the /L:ENG. This causes the problem, the script
corrects it.

If this is not the case, see:

System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows

Verify that all the values in these keys do not contain any incorrect,
incomplete, or null entries (such as ""). These values can be checked here:
Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
