Been doing my nut in for ages

Everytime my computer starts up my 'system23' folder opens up. I've tried virus scanning etc. Any idea why it does this?

Cheers chaps, a Jaffa Cake is in the post for you all.

Actually, I have no idea how to do this.

Ok Press start then run, then in there type regedit.exe then browse to this section:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

Verify that all the values in these keys do not contain any incorrect, incomplete, or null entries (such as "").

Do the same for

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

Don't delete anything from the registry unless you are 100% sure it's not needed. Doing so could royally fuck up your machine.

If you're scared about breaking anything in your registry, there's an option in regedit to export any changes you might make

Removing a key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
won't fuck up your computer though, it'll just stop whatever that program from starting up when you start your computer.

seems fine, but the folder still pops up.
