re: Question about 'Get Rid of the Unwanted Explorer Windows at Startup' Thursday, February 19, 2004 at 9:48 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chris (1 messages posted) OK you want to get rid of this? How to get rid of the system32 folder that pops up automatically when you log into your computer, windows XP anyways ... here you go: Open regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run and check the "DEFAULT" value, it SHOULD BE BLANK! Then check HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run and do the same thing, that "DEFAULT" value SHOULD BE BLANK please send me a note if this helped!! I'd be curious to see how many emails I get :) I think these are altered with a lot of HTML exploits if your computer hasn't been patched properly, or if some spyware gets into your machine. Good luck!
