Hijackthis (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/) is a great utility that will
show what is set to run at startup as well as other useful information
(installed browser helper object, services).

HTH,

Joe

Subject: System 32 folder opens during start up

I'm drawing a blank...

One of the computers that I maintain is giving me a headache. It's a
personal computer, and every-time it boots up, the system32 directory
folder opens up. I've looked in startup folders for all users, and a few
other things, but cannot find the reason.

Any thoughts to turn this off? I suspect it may be in the registry, but
I'm not definitely sure.

regards,

Dana
