System32

[Guest]

When I log onto Windows, on any account,, the folder "System32" automatically
opens up. It is frustrating. Is there any way to change the options so that
the folder will no longer do that?

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 " / ."
