System 32

[Ron]

When I start up XP the last screen to come up and it
remains like it is my desktop is the system 32 folder. I
have to close it to get rid of it. How can I get this to
stop happening.....

Hi Ron,

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:

Greetings --

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 " / ."

I have come across this a few times and in most cases its
caused by spamware putting an entry into the "run" section
of the registry. Download a spamware removal tool or look
in the registry for
software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run
