System32 folder opens on boot XP Pro

[Thomas Bunetta]

Every time my machine is booted, the system32 folder opens (not currently
set to show its contents)...
It just displays and I can't figure out why.
Any ideas? I looked at the startup programs via msconfig, and still have no
idea.
I went to this link,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;170086&Product=winxp
and checked all the entries... didn't find one as listed (incorrect).
Now seeking additional ideas.


TIA
Tom

You could check the startup folder to see if there is a shortcut to the
system32 folder, if there is delete it.

best of luck

Problem resolved!
There was no link in startup, but another poster (diff. NG) gave a link top
a vbs file that fixed it!
Thanks for your help,
