Every time I start my computer opens with a window titled "System32" open on the desktop. Is it trying to tell me something? How can I stop it? Obviously not a major problem as it is easy enough to close but it would be nice to find a solution and I would really appreciate some help.

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run keys. It can also
be caused by an entry in these same keys that starts with a " / ."
