Question Windows32 Folder opens at Start-Up
Can anyone tell me why the C:\WIndows\System32 folder opens up automatically when I turn on my computer?

Click on Start and then go to All Programs. Find the Startup entry and see if the folder is listed there. If it is, remove it.

OK,

Click the link and download this to your Desktop then double click it to execute it. It's a registry fix

An error messae appears saying: "The script cannot repair your issue. The expected Registry value was not found."

What Registry value was it looking for?
