David:
I got the System 32 to stop opening on startup. i did what u said w/ the
msconfig.exe file. i couldn't find anything in the 24 items that had a
command line that specified the system 32 folder to open, so i started w/ the
process of elimination.
I first stopped the startup folder from loading to isolate it to that
folder; it stopped. i then restarted the startup folder and eliminated 12 of
the items from loading. Lo and behold, after reloading w/o those 12 items,
not only the system 32 folder didn't load, but the command line for one of
the items "disappeared". I then re-enabled the other 11 and was able to
eliminate the problem. sounds like a remnant from one of the viruses that
were eliminated by the batch files that you recommended. thanks for
everything; my system is lightening fast w/o any of the former glitches. God
Bless, and have a blessed Christmas/Hannakuh/Kwansa or whatever you do/don't
celebrate (need to be politically correct, you know; "I'm not dead, I'm just
metaphysically challenged..." lol .
