re: Question about 'Get Rid of the Unwanted Explorer Windows at Startup' Thursday, October 14, 2004 at 8:17 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rene PERRAUX (1 messages posted) The problem is documented in MS... http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086 A common user had the explorer with the system32 folder everytime he logs on. In my case, the problem was located in the Default value of the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] key... for the local administrator. To resolve the issue I had to Log on as the administrator and then use the regedit tools to clean the bad registry value. Problem resolved!
