Hi, looking for hel

Everytime I start XP a System32 screen starts - I can;t get rid of it. I checked the startup folder and it can;t be that. pre-XP I guess I would have been editing the .ini files, so there must be some equivalent in XP????

Thanks for the help
 
you could try checking that Windows isn't restoring the previous sessions
open windows. to check this open my computer, click tools, folder options,
then the view tab. scroll down to the 'restore previous folder windows at
logon'

that's the only thing i can think of to try. other than take a look in
msconfig and see if there is anything in the start up tab and see.

Hi Mac,

Please see:

Also, start/run msconfig, and see if there is a line that loads /L:ENG. It
comes from a SoundBlaster Audigy driver, and it can cause this problem as
well. If it exists, use the registry fix from MVP Kelly:

Line 260 on the right:

It's far easier than mucking about in the registry. The problem can also be
caused by other incorrectly built registry strings. So, if the first two
steps don't help you, could you please export and post the contents of these
keys in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

To do this, start/run regedit, expand the branches to each key (do this one
at a time). Click on the key, then on file/export. Give it any name, then
save to the desktop. Once you have saved both keys, close the registry
editor. Right-click one of the saved files on the desktop, choose edit, it
should open in notepad. Click edit/select all/edit/copy. Open a response to
this post and click in the message text area. Hit ctrl+v to paste the
contents. Repeat for the other saved key, then send the post for
examination.

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 " / ."

Hi Rick!!

Now I have the same problem with this old machine that needs to go back to work. I have copied the content of both keys and they are as follows:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"CTFMON.EXE"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ctfmon.exe"
"MSMSGS"="\"C:\\Archivos de programa\\Messenger\\msmsgs.exe\" /background"
"MyWebSearch Email Plugin"="C:\\ARCHIV~1\\MYWEBS~1\\bar\\2.bin\\mwsoemon.exe"
@=""

And:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"AlcxMonitor"="ALCXMNTR.EXE"

Can you help me get rid of this System32 window every time I boot? Thank you in advance.
