system 32

[Bob]

Had to reload my computer to get rid of viruses. Now
when the computer starts up the System 32 folder comes
up. Is there a way to keep that from happening?

Hi Bob,

Generally speaking this is an issue with those still containing viruses,
etc. Run the cleaners mentioned here:
Cleaning Up XP: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_c.htm#cleanup

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:

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
