Hello! I seem to get a WINDOWS/SYSTEM32 folder appearing on the desktop
everytime the computer starts up. Any ideas on how to prevent this from
happening? Thanks very much!

Hey thanks for your help but the tweak doesn't work - it's says the expected
registry value does not exist

Sid,

This message?
[[This script cannot repair your issue. The expected Registry value was not
found.]]

The script looks for SB Audigy 2 Startup Menu value in
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
This is a real common problem with Dell machines that have an OEM version of
the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card. But it isn't the only thing that
causes the System32 folder to open at startup.

Have a look at this..
System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

If you aren't sure about what's goofy, open Registry Editor...
Start | run | Type: regedit | Click OK |
Navigate to >>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Right click on the Run folder | Click Export | Select Desktop | For file
name Run1 | For Save as type select Text File | Click the Save button

Navigate to >>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Right click on the Run folder | Click Export | Select Desktop | For file
name Run2 | For Save as type select Text File | Click the Save button

Go to the Desktop and open both Run1.txt and Run2.txt, copy everything and
paste it into a message and post back.

Hello Wes,

Thanks for the heads up on this matter. Your link and description of the
problem allowed me to correct the system32 issue that I was having with my
Dell 8400 and Audigy2 card.

To all who are reading this message... check out the link that Wes provided.
It appears to have a lot of good fixes.

Hello shane_ishga,

To clarify things before you begin, I AM NOT a computer expert (nor an
"idiot" ) and I have screwed up my system more times than I have been able to
correct on my own... so take this response for what it is worth.

I followed Wesley's instructions and downloaded the file that was named.

(This is where it gets sketchy because it's been a while since I made my
repairs)
After downloading this file I went into Windows Explorer and double clicked
on the contents. My system seemed to recognize this file and appearred to
load it into memory. When I rebooted my system afterwards... the dreaded
System32 screen had stopped loading at start up.

Needless to say... I was one happy camper. As of this date, the System32
screen has not mysteriously reappeared at startup. I hope this works for you
also.

If this does not work for you... I apologize... I don't know what else to
tell you. Also, please keep in mind that you do this at your own risk as I
have no idea if it will work on your system or make matters worse!

-Rick

Yeah I had the same prob - it said that the expected registry value was not
found

can anyone check out the registry values listed and tell whether it's one of
those??
