Startup Display

This is likely due to a shortcut in the Start Menu, Startup folder, or a
registry entry. This problem occurs when a long file name (has spaces
in the path or file name) is used and is not enclosed in quotes.

Right click each shortcut in the Startup folder and check the
properties. If the command line has spaces in it, make sure its enclosed
in quotes.

Then click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

Look for the entries in the right pane. Each of them, if any, is a
program that loads at Startup. Again, if there are spaces in the path
or file name, it should be enclosed in quotes. If you find one that
isn't, double click the entry and change it so that it is.

Last resort, click Start, Run and enter MSCONFIG Locate any entry that
references the System32 folder. Uncheck it and reboot. If the folder
fails to open, you've found the culprit.


Also if you have a name in the run section of the registry with no app
associated with it to run that too will cause the system32 folder to open
at bootup.
