Bootup Oddity

[Steve]

When I boot up everything appears to load fine, then as it finishes booting,
the Windows/System32 folder opens over the top of my Desktop. It doesnt do
any damage and is more a hinderance having to close it all the time. Can
someone please help me with the steps on how to stop this happening.

Look at Folder Options/view to see if "restore previous
folder at logon" is checked.
