I get this folder pop up when i login to windows....when all my programs are loading and popping onto the screen...i always get this nero folder that pops up...that has a bunch of nero files...but pops up for no reason.I can close it and everything...its just annoying.
Should i just delete it from "start up" on reg editor or something?

just clear all the unnecessary items from the startup and see.
start->run->msconfig click enter, then click on starup tab and clear unnecesary programs from the list

Well...i stopped the nero folder from popping up.
Now this pesky System32 folder pops up.......i config'd the start up list and it still pops up.
