Re: System32 Folder During Startup

I thought you had removed Aim6?
Please do so.

I can't see anything obvious in the rest.

Alan,

Thanks, I found the Regional & Language settings. Must have been tired last
night!

Well, Ctfmon.exe is now disabled. System 32 flder is still popping up!
Should I post what is in my registry run folders just in case I missed
something?

Danny,

You have to realize that there can be different views in XP for
Control Panel.
I don't see that terminology either, as I don't like category view.
Just use Regional and Language Options if that is what you see (as I
did)

Alan,

I am starting to wonder if the issue is in startup.

I disabled Aim6-folder still comes up.

Went thru the KB282599 to disable ctfmon.exe. No luck as it still loads.
The only step of the process I could not perform was step 2 as my version of
XP does not have: "In Windows XP, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional
Options, and then click Regional and Language Options. On the Languages tab,
click Details."

Spent time disabling startup items - no luck.

Danny,

I don't know why you didn't narrow it down as you could have done it
in about five restarts if you disabled half at a time.

I gave you the information of ctfmon.

You have nothing against Aim6.
If that correct, then remove it and see if it is your problem.

So far I have not eliminated the problem. I noticed that I had Avast! as a
registry entry and after googling found it is remenants off a past virus
program. They had a clear uninstall, but it still left some of the program
and one registry entry so I manually deleted. Using Mike's startup I tried
to remove the ctfmon, but it keeps reloading after each boot.

I again tried the latest MV stinger and also ran the last on-line Avast!
after I saw it in the registry and prior to manual removal. I also tried
deleting all the files in the pretfetch directory - did not make a difference.

I have not ediited the msinfo32.

What did you find out using Msconfig or Mike's Startup as a

If you narrowed it down to ctfmon, then read this:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php?filter=ctfmon
If you didn't narrow it down to ctfmon, what did you find as the
culprit?

Some of your Msinfo32 information is different to mine.
e.g. you have:
Windows Defender c:\program files\windows defender\msascui.exe -hide
I have:
Windows Defender "c:\program files\windows defender\msascui.exe" -hide
Have you edited the Msinfo32.exe information? If so it is of little
use to me.

Alan,

Sorry for the delay, but i have been out of town. Each line string was too
long, so I posted the program & command columns. I also use start up by Mike
Linn & tried to keep ctfmon.exe from starting up,. but each time I disable it
re-enables.

Here is the msinfo32 info.

Check in Msconfig for any oddities.

If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then:

Use Msconfig as a troubleshooter or:
Get a second opinion.

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.

Running a windows xp media center edition machine that I can not seem to stop

subject and below is what I have tried to date with no luck.

Thanks for the help in advance-Danny

1. kb170086. Nothing obvious to me in the registry.

2. also looked for any balnk entrys or lines starting with "/".

3. Multiple virus scans and spyware checks.

4. unchecking "restore previous folder at windows logon" via control
panel\folders & booting under diagnostic start up.

5. system32 does not show up under task manager.
