Hi all, I've just found this site, and have a small annoying problem. When I boot up each morning I get the C:/WINNT/system32 window appear on my desktop. How do stop this from happening?
Cheers,

Hi,
In the registry, try looking at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Or in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\etc as above
Can't remember which one, and look for a default entry with a blank property ("") and delete it. This fixed the problem for me.

Thanks for the info. The nearest thing I can find in the registry is the following. Is this what I should change?
set KeyName = "Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"
OpenRegKey $(!REG_H_LOCAL) "" $(KeyName) $(!REG_KEY_READ) KeyHandle
ifint $(RegLastError) != $(!REG_ERROR_SUCCESS)
Cheers,

Just had a look at my machine - location of the default entry with blank property ("") was:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Let us know if you find this entry and what values there are under this key - though won't be back on this message board until Monday, weekend starts in a couple of minutes...

Hi,
I had a go and methodically went through the registry and deleted all the entries one by one with ("") in the line, but to no avail.
Anyone have anymore ideas?
