Hi

I am running NT 4.0 and I have a problem where the system 32 folder opens up whenever anyone logs into this PC. I checked the start up folders in the default and all users profiles and they are empty. What could be causing this folder to open???

Thanks

Hi,
check out the hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run key in the registry, and look for any entry that's calling a component from system32 that isn't actually there. theres a similar key in HKCU if you have no joy on the first key. Hope this helps...

I checked this out and it didn't help. There was an exe entry in there but its something that should be there and is actually located in the system 32 folder.

Thanks anyway
