System32 folder & Windows Explorer on Startup

Mark · Apr 21, 2004

When I first log on Windows Explorer automatically opens
to the system32 folder.

Why does this happen and how do I stop this from happening?

Hi Mark,

Visit MS-MVP Kelly Theriot's webpage at
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll down
to Item No. 260. In the right column, click on "System32 Folder Opens
Upon Boot". Download this repair file and then run the repair.
