| System32 folder opens on restart A friend of mine has a situation that I can't figure out. Every time he restarts his computer, the restart proceeds as normal, except that the System32 folder is displayed right after the desktop icons appear. The Common folder is also displayed. It's just a simple Windows Explorer display of the 2 folders. He closes the 2 folders and everything appears to be okay. This has been going on for a while and he can't think of what he did that could have caused this. I can't even think of where a request for the display of a folder at restart would be kept, much less what could be causing this. Any direction or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help. |
