When Booting "C:\Windows\System32" Folder opens automatically. Fix

Every time my IBM R50P laptop boots, the folder "C:\Windows\System32" opens
as part of the loading process and I have to close the folder. I have checked
the "Startup" folder and I do not see anything that would launch this action.
How do I fix this problem? It is very annoying.

Looks like you haven't tried to Google your problem

Enter "system32 folder opens on boot" in Google search and you will
get about 148,000 references.

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 " / ."

Search the registry for an entry, if you are confortable doing that.
Maybe a run or run once entry.
