XP System32 file Opens on Start Up

[amtski]

I have download and installed many patches and fixes that
Windows recommends for XP and now on startup the system 32
file opens. I have check all the startup locations that I
am aware of but I can not find what is openeing this
file. This is annoying, does any one have any suggestions
on how to correct this?
