System32 folder opens whenever I start windows.

I have a seven year old desktop computer.  He had to undergo some repairs of equipment and I had to re - install everything from scratch.  The operating system is Win - XP with service pack 3 and all the updates available have been applied.  Office 2007, Adobe reader, VLC player, AVG antivirus, browser firefox and 7-Zip are additional programs.  Well, other things such as Java, .net or other things that are needed for navigation are also installed.

Since the time that this re - install windows has been done about a month before, whenever I start, the folder named "System 32" opens.  It does not show the content (they are hidden, as is highlighted by the post about that) - and, the additional message to say that you should not modify the contents of this folder is also there that.  Just click on the Red 'X' mark on this window, and it closes.  No problem.  But it's annoying to see that at every start up.

Can someone advise please how to avoid this file opens at each startup?

  • folder opens in a new window after update, but the options are correct

    Hello!

    After a few updates to Vista in the past two days, each folder now opens in a new window.

    The problem is: the folder options are correct. They are set to "open each folder in the same window. So I guess this is a new bug in Vista.

    Y at - it someone here with the same problems and maybe a solution?

    See you soon

    You can try to restore Windows back to a previous working state, and then disabling the updates so that it works this way.

    Step 1: To restore Windows to a previous state (before defective updates):

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore (open the link and follow the instructions).

    Step 2: To disable the automatic updates (so the update defective will not be reinstalled):

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off (in step 3, select 'Off').

    WARNING: It is not recommended and sometimes even dangerous to disable automatic updates, because they improve the security and reliability of Windows. If the procedures above solves your problem, this means that an update was the likely cause.

    Please report back with your results. Then we can reactivate the automatic updates, but block the update that causes this problem.

Usually, icons glitter automactically office if I simply click on the desktop and don't stop until I click on the bar tasks. I clicked on the desktop after that viruses have been filed to see if that was the problem and flicker more. I thought that I had finally fixed my computer until I turned on today and after Windows starts he has started making new flicker. I also tried the system restore, and he said that it was not successful. If it wasn't the virus that was causing it, so what?

  • Machine sounds a different number of dings whenever I start windows

    The system is DELL Precision 3410 Quad Core Intel with 8 GB of RAM running Win7 with Virtual Windows XP installed. Norton Internet Security is installed as well as many other applications.  Machine is one of the two machines of Win7 on a home LAN that has NAS and a network attached printer.

    Some time after entering the password user, but until all applications are running, my machine rings several bells. Most often, these are six bells/bumps at a steady pace. Other times it's five bell/ringing followed by a pause and then two bells/bumps in quick succession. Rare opportunity, without bells/ringing sound and sometimes there are as much a ten bells/ringing.

    It seems to me that the machine is telling me that some program doesn't load properly, but I don't know how to say what mean the different sounds.

    Substantially the same software is loaded on a DELL optiplex 7010 Quad Core Intel with 4 GB of RAM.  It never rang a Bell / ding at startup.

    Need the bells / ringing mean?

    Hello

    This problem is due to several reasons as follows:

    a. 6 beeps if there is no keyboard controller failure.

    b. 5 beeps if there is no failure of the process.

    c. 2 beeps if there is no parity circuit failure.

    Before you continue with the troubleshooting steps, I would like to know some information about this problem.

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop with success?

    2. do you have the question started recently?

    3. have you connected external devices other than the keyboard and mouse?

    4. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    Here in this scenario, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

    Method 1:

    Make sure the keyboard (keyboard, check if all the external devices are connected properly, not only) is properly connected. Try to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard (not only keyboard, try this for all external devices). If this is not enough, then try to connect to another keyboard and check.

    Method 2:

    If you are able to boot to the desktop, then run the Memory Diagnostic tool and check if that helps.

    See the following Microsoft Help article to run the Memory Diagnostic tool.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer

    If the problem persists, then it would be best to contact Dell support for further help on this issue. As this could be a problem with the hardware.

  • How can I disable the 'Open with' window that appears whenever I start?

    My desktop pc using Windows 7 Home Premium. For years, I want to start with nothing default opening. Each time, the choice of what to open were made manually by me.

    For some reason that I don't understand, one day after start-up, this 'Open with' window appears. Under "Choose the program you want to use to open this file," the indicated file was my name. (I replaced the one here with the word "Me.")

    I never asked this window will open after startup. It appeared for the first time without having done me anything. I do not think that I have all the files with my first name only, so I closed the window and ignored.

    But the window open whenever I start. Don't need or want to be, I keep closing and ignore him.

    Soon, not one, but two of the pop-up appeared. Then THREE.

    For several years, the three windows double as above appeared whenever I start.

    Don't know how or why it began. Don't know which program is causing it. Don't know how to stop it.

    Anyone recognize this window? Do you know which program is causing it to appear after startup? Do you know how to disable? Is there a trick to disable three of them?

    (1) is the window 'Open with' above now a default pop-up window after startup that cannot be disabled without the registry editor?

    No, the "open with" isn't a local default value.  You see it because something - probably malware - tried to configure your computer to start a process at startup time.  Windows, however, does not recognize the name of the process (i.e. the file name) as an executable program so it asks you to specify which program to use to open the file.

    No, you don't need to manually edit the registry to resolve this problem.

    (2) there is no program in Control Panel I can open that has a simple toggle to turn it on or off?

    No, there is no program in Control Panel you can use to solve this problem.

    Here's how fix you the problem.

    A. the easy way (doesn't unless you are very lucky)

    • Click the start ORB, all programs and then scroll down until you find "Startup" and click on it.
    • If you see that anything that gets filed that you do not want to start when you log on to "Start", right click and delete.
    • If you do not know what the items listed and are reluctant to delete something you don't understand not (a very good policy to follow), list all the elements in your next reply and someone here will try to advise you.

    B. the way a little harder (that almost always works)

    • Download here Autoruns.zip (this course is that you download from a Microsoft web site)--> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    • Right-click on the downloaded file and select "extract all".
    • Go to the folder where the extracted files are located (this should have been opened for you by default), and then double-click on autoruns.exe
    • Wait until the program has finished scanning (look at the bottom left corner) and then select the 'connection '.
    • Look in the column titled 'Image path' for a line that includes whatever it is that appeared as the 'file' in the original pop-up window.
    • If you find a line with the same name in there, uncheck the box at the left end of the line, close Autoruns and restart your computer.
      • If the ToolTip no longer displayed, you can (a) do nothing do or Autoruns (b) re - run, find the line you're not controlled and right click > delete it.
    • If you cannot find a line with the name you're looking for...
      • Click on the "all" tab
      • Click file, and then click search, then enter the name and click "next".
        1. If a line is found, right click and select 'copy '.
        2. Paste the line in your next reply here
        3. Press F3 to find the next instance and repeat steps 1 and 2 until no more bodies are found (if there are several rows, you can open a Notepad window and paste the lines temporarily here)
        4. If you are reluctant to publish anything with your name in it, change the lines to replace your name
