System 32 Window opening on startup

Guest

Recently my PC has started to open the System 32 Window when I logg on. I
have looked at article 170086, and everything seems 'ok to my eye' in the
Registry Editor. This seemed to start when I upgraded to AOL Broadband
service?
Any suggestions / help to resolve this would be most welcome.

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down
to Item No. 260. In the right column, click on "System32 Folder Opens
Upon Boot". Download this repair file and then run the repair.

Winston, i am having the same problem after an AOL upgrade, where do I go to
view article 170086? and what did you do to correct this problem if you were
able to? I have XP operating system.

Thanks to all for the info, unfortunately it did not work. I go a message "
This script cannot repair your issue. The expected Registry value was not
found". Does anyone else have any ideas? I have XP operating system, it all
started when I upgraded to AOL SE.
