System 32 folder?!

[TurcoLoco]

I'm using Windows XP Home SP2 and every time I login to my computer on any user name, the system 32 folder opens up. I've tired Registry Editor but nothing happen...Any ideas? Here my logfile:


O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {e2e2dd38-d088-4134-82b7-f2ba38496583} - %windir%\Network Diagnostic\xpnetdiag.exe (file missing)
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: @xpsp3res.dll,-20001 - {e2e2dd38-d088-4134-82b7-f2ba38496583} - %windir%\Network Diagnostic\xpnetdiag.exe (file missing)

From what I could see you system was infected at some point and possibly it still is.

Generally an invalid startup entry (04) could cause Windows the display because a startup entry that was located either in Windows or System32 folder is being called but since it no longer exists, it simply shows the location folder.
Another common place for this invalid entry to be in is either win.ini or system.ini files. I advise you to check these system files as well by:
START > RUN > type win.ini > OK & START > RUN > type system.ini > OK.

I am moving this thread to the Spyware section. There might be more to this problem then just the system32 folder opening upon bootup.

On the other hand, you may be reluctant to use the Registry Editor.
If you go to this page:

and then look for item number 260 (System32 Folder Opens Upon Boot) on the righthand side of the table, you can download a Visual Basic script for solving the problem.
