Feb 21, 2006When I start up my pc a folder by the name of "Common" always pops up for no reason and is completely empty and needs to die because it is starting to annoy me ^_^ It starts before anything else including my virus scanner and if I close it before the other things are loaded it appears again I don't think it's related to adware or any viruses etcetera I keep my computer pretty clean. The folder isn't registered in my startup files which is why I wonder what the hell it's there for. If anyone knows how to fix this annoying problem please reply. I don't know the file path or anything because I have a problem showing the path in folders but that's something I can live with, a "common" file that comes up every time I login is not!My computer is a Sony Vaio RS100 running windows XP service pack 2.

System 32 Folder Appears On Boot Up
Jul 7, 2007When I boot up my computer the system 32 folder appears. I would like to get rid of this unscheduled appearance. There is no mention of System 32 in msconfig so I cannot simply uncheck a box and have it not start up. I did find a MS article on this problem; http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=170086, but it calls for editing the registry and as the directions are not too clear, I am afraid to do this on my own for fear of fouling something critical. I am fine with the instructions till the last step where they call for editing Value data. If someone knowledgable with the registry could give me some detailed directions I would like to try to eliminate System 32 from appearing. Computer info (if needed) is in my profile.

Apr 4, 2008Whenever I start my computer up, the C:WINDOWSsystem32 folder opens up.. everytime! I have looked at several forums to try to fix my problem, and I have tried the fix at this website: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm (line 260) and this is the message that came up:"the script cannot repair your issue. The expected Registry value was not found."I have no idea what to do.. I read on one forum that the guy had to basically clean off his hard drive and re install it! I REALLY don't want to have to go through that.. especially since I'm a college student, and finals are coming up.. the last thing I need is to be without my own computer. I have searched on this site for forums pertaining to this subject, but I haven't found any.

Nov 25, 2006My bothers new computer (two months old) is doing something strange. Every time it boots up, loads windows The C:Program Filesintel directory pops up on the screen. He has an intel Motherboard, and Pentium 4 3.0. I checked first the startup folder, nothing there that I could see would access that folded. I then ran msconfig just to see if anything else was showing that directory. Still nothing. Then I download some startup manager from download.com (I cant remember the exact name of it) but it showed me the same thing I had seen before, and nothing that pointed to the Intel directory. (Some pointed to the intel Audio directory, but that directory exists).I do know after I ran msconfig I went into safe mode and the directory didnt start up. But when I booted back into Windows XP Pro again it showed up?Anybody know what else I can do? I wonder if I change the name of the directory, wouldnt that throw an error and maybe I can figure out what it trying to access it?
