System32

[new2tech]

I get a System32 File that pops up when I boot windows xp. It reads: "This
folder contains file contents that keep your system working properly. You
should not modify its contents."
This appeared after I downloaded a home design demo from the internet.
I have already done a system restore, but it didn't fix the problem. Is
there a patch for this?

Someone please help me fix this.
