The "My Computer" folder automatically opens every time that you log on to a
Windows XP ?

I cheked the Reg. key - HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
for a value of Userinit. Its value is = C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

I checked the knowledge base and tried to solve the problem. The KB
describes the cure like this:
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\ Explorer\Advanced
In the right pane, right-click PersistBrowsers, and then click Modify.
In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type 0 under Value data, and then click
OK.

But I could not find the "PersistBrowsers" in the same way as it decribed.
Please help me...

Do you see it listed in your Startup folder?

Open a run command and type in:
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll click [OK]
Reboot your machine, does it help?

System32 Folder Opens When Logging on to Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086

This can also be caused by Blank entry in the Run at Start Up and causing
the system32 to start up and not pointing to a correct path or app.
Open a run command and type in:
regedit.exe click [OK] and locate these two Keys:
[-]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run =
Delete any Empty entry like this "/" or " ".

[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run =
Delete any Empty entry like this "/" or " ".

cleaner (but I think it is relaible). I have Spyware Terminator, the spy
bloker installed in my system.
Please post your valuables...
Thank you all.
