Golly, hope I'm in the right place, took forever to get here! Anyway, earlier
in the week, a Dell Support pop-up told me that my Start up menu had too many
blank spaces and did an auto fix. Since then, when I boot up, I get my
desktop and then, this big white screen that says SYSTEM32 THESE FILES ARE
HIDDEN. THIS FOLDER CONTAINS FILES THAT KEEP YOUR SYSTEM WORKING PROPERLY.
YOU SHOULD NOT MODIFY THE CONTENTS. I don't want a screen/file like that,
which should be secure, to pop-up every time I start up. Any ideas how I can
"file" it. Thanks DG

Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and scroll
down to Item No. 260 [right column] and download the registry fix
[System32 Folder Opens Upon Boot].
