System 32 / User name & Password Issues

I have a couple problems.

1.) Everytime my computer boots up my system32 folder opens. I have gone to msconfig and it is not even set to open when I boot up.


2.) I only have one user on this laptop, myself. I do not have any passwords set up because I have no need for them. So why does it come up with the log in screen every time my computer boots up? I mean, I can hit cancel and it logs in but isn't there a way to boot up without having that screen come up?

Any help is appreciated.



Lauren

sounds like a virus, have you added anything new like vb runtimes, or hardware, software? if so what, and when did the problem start?

try booting in safe mode, from the moment you turn on the power, tap the F8 key continually until a black boot menu appears, use the arrow keys to select safe mode, if the computer does boot, try to get online and do a online virus scan, like housecall, rav, panda, and norton(symantec) if this does not help, it may be time to consider formatting and reinstalling the os.
