Starting about 3 weeks ago my system32 folder is opening in Windows Explorer when I log in. I don't know of any changes that would have started this. I have checked the run keys in the registry and the startup menu for my profile and the default/all users profiles but do not see anything that I would associate with this window. Running WinNT4.0 SP6. Any thoughts?
