Hello simms156...

Download this Script and save it to your desktop. Double-click on the downloaded file to run it. Reboot and see if the System32 folder still opens on Startup.

Hmmmmmm...

Have a look at this Microsoft Article. If you choose to edit the registry, be sure to save a backup of the current registry before doing so.

Click Start, then Run, type regedit, and click "Ok".

In the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, then Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, and click on Run. In the right pane, under the "Data" heading look at each value. If any values appear as "" post back.

While looking at this key, also see if the following string is present in the right pane...post back if present.

Name: ActiveMovie File Extensions
Type: REG_SZ
Data: ActMovie.exe /Check

Collapse these keys by clicking the - (just as you clicked on the + to expand them)

Then, in the left pane, expand (click +) HKEY_CURRENT_USER, then Software, then Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, and click on Run. In the right pane, under the "Data" heading look at each value. If any values appear as "" post back.

that's the proper way to remove it but you can also try start, run, type msconfig

in the startup tab, look for any entries that are blank. uncheck the box next to them if you find them. this should also fix the problem.
