    Check if there is a shortcut to Windows\System32 in Startup of All Users.

    I would also scan for any malware. Sometimes a virus can cause this action.

    Hello Ray,

    Go into msconfig and see if there is a blank line - if so uncheck it.

    Start menu > run and type msconfig and ok. Then click on the Startup tab.

    Don't think this is malware related, but do check.
