When I log on to Windows my system 32 folder is displayed. This just started today. I can just click it off so it's not a big deal. It just bothers me that it shouldn't open on it's own and I can't stop it.

Hi Bill,

Probably some kind of startup entry which is corrupted.

Please read these directions for posting a topic in the HijackThis forum and a trained 1st responder or security expert will assist you.

I have merged the thread from General Computer Problems with this thread. Please do not start multiple threads on the same issue unless asked by a staff member to do so. It can lead to conflicting assistance and it wastes time.
