system32 folder loads on startup

[Derek]

My system32 folder loads everytime on startup. I tried to go to the
registry editor and check

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

and i visited http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and
scrolled down to Item No. 260.

I have tried everything. Does someone have an answer to this problem.
Please I have been working on this for days. reply as soon as u get an
answer. I would appreciate it.

Do a search for the folder: Startup
check each one to see if your system32 folder isn't there.

With respect, you cannot have tried everything.
You say you "tried to go to the registry editor".
What happened when you tried?

You say you scrolled down to item 260 but did you run

Did you read (and try) everything here?

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 " / ."
