Re: Startup Problem - System32 Folder

The System32 folder opens automatically whenever i start my laptop
This happen since yesterday after i installed a couple of applications i.e ICQ and Yahoo Messenger (which i have uninstalled). It doesn't affect the system in any way yet.
I scaned the system with antivirus - perfectly OK.

Anybody can assist on how to solve the above problem??

Thanks,
