System 32 screen

[Jackson]

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:
