System32 Folder Opens on Startup

[Becky]

When I start my XP machine and Login the System 32 Folder
automatically opens up. How can I prevent this from
happening?

To save time it's always wise to search this group, prior to posting.
"System32" reveals many recent hits, using a newsreader here. Some of
them point to Kelly's site, below. Click on "S", then scroll down to your
topic.

Becky,
This is what Dell Support wrote me. However, when I used msconfig, there is
no "L:/ENG" there. Instead there are two windows 32 boxes that I unchecked.
When I rebooted the computer, it told me that I have changed the
configuration and to re-start it using normal re-start. When I rebooted,
system 32 folder no longer appears.
Go to Start-->Run

Type in msconfig in the entry field of the run dialog box and click OK. When
the msconfig window opens, click on the startup items tab (far right tab at
top of window). Look for an entry that starts with "L:/ENG". Uncheck the box
next to this entry.

Then close out the msconfig window and reboot the system.

On the reboot, you will get a message window that says you have changed the
startup. There will be a checkbox at the bottom of this message window that
mentions "not showing this message". Check that box and then click the OK
button.

How do I search this group? Is there a search mechanism?

When using the WEBbased MicroSoft newsreader, which you appear to be
doing, I see NEW POST, POST REPLY and SEARCH buttons just below the list
of posts. (Don't use the black search button at the top-right.)

A search in the SUBJECT LINE for "System32" listed 15 posts.

Using a newsreader instead of the WEB interface, many more replies were
displayed.
