- C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder opens on startup
- Posted by eichmebe on May 11th, 2004
I am working on a friends computer. Every time the computer starts up the
C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder opens. Could there be something in the startup menu
causing this? How would I stop this folder from opening when the computer
starts?

Stinger did previously detect the w32/klezh@mm virus, which I removed. I
also uninstalled Norton Antivirus a few minutes ago- as directed in the
Symantic directions for Klez removal. I am now searching for other virus
because the folder still opens.

Make sure that all of your startup shortcuts have double
quotes around them.
Windows XP? Folder Options / View ...
Uncheck 'Restore previous folder windows at logon'.

Make sure that no Windows are open when you close down
or reboot, as Windows can remember that they were open
and reinstate them on bootup.
Check that the following registry key is equal to zero:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer
DesktopProcess = 0x00000000 (0)
Check the following registry keys for entries that might
initiate a window opening:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServicesOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunOnce\Setup
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

Turns out there was an item in the startup menu causing this. After I
deselected the item, this folder did not open during startup anymore.
