There shouldn't be any such thing as a "windows32" file on the hard
drive. (Unless some 3rd party application put it there, in which case
you need to repair that specific application.)

Perhaps you mean the "C:\Windows\System32" folder?

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 " / ."
