For some unknown reason, the System32 folder appears every time I start my
computer. How can I disable this?

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 " / ."

In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run is the
following:

Value: SB Audigy 2 Startup Menu
Value Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: /L:ENG

Is this the source of my problem? If so, do I just delete it or do I do
something else?

the entries and tell me how to fix the offending ones.
 
Value Data: /L:ENG

Is it "/L:ENG" or " /L:ENG" (watch the blank space).

If it's a white-space before, try trimming it down.
