Windows XP Boo-boo

[allen.hoessli]

I recently reinstalled Windows XP. I installed all the basic stuff and
performed basic maintenance. For some reason, every time I log into my
Administrator account (the account I perform all maintenance and
installation), my System32 folder opens up on Windows Explorer. What is
going on?

I cannot find any of these entries in my registry.

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 " / ."
