System32 Folder

[Bob]

Running W2K Pro and getting the System32 folder opening at
startup. I reviewed the article KB170086 and do not have
any of the entries listed in the article.
Any other resolution will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes make sure you have no long file\folder calls in the registry locations Windows uses at boot. Namely HKLM and HKCU the Run keys as in that article. Make sure they all use 8.3 file name format.

C:\Prgram Files\Common Files\averylongname.txt

would be

C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\LONGNA~1.TXT

You can use the dir /x to find out the 8.3 filename format.
