Why do I suddenly have a system 32 folder on my desk top when I sign in? It just started happening.?

System32 is where all the main Windows files are. It is a very important folder. I think proably it is virus related if it suddenly appeared. Do a virus scan to see.

May be the few programs you have installed they have occupied all that big space.The other reason is user files and temp files. Perform disk clean up [Start>programs>accessories>system tools>disc clean up. (windows)]

There is a yellow symbol in your tray that looks like a badge and that symbol is part of Microsoft platform.  It will show in the tray as yellow when there is a critical update if you have auto updates checked off for Microsoft.  It will turn red if you have turned off any of your security. \n\nIf you are talking about a different box saying "Windows Installer", you have a virus in your system.  \n\nHope that you use an antivirus program.  If so run the program and see if it will go away.  If not "restore your system".\n\nIf you have no antivirus at all, you can download an excellent free antivirus program from http://www.avast.com  They are out of Prague.  And they have an excellent background scanner that really works and would catch any virus embedded in a webpage in real time and destroy it before the virus can enter your system.  Plus you get auto updates two or three times per day. \n\nThis program for sure will remove the virus you have described.\n\nJust remember that you can only run one antivirus program, or you wil have serious conflict with your system.  You can run three or four antispyware programs without any conflict. \n\nI use this progam an never had one virus in over nine years. \n\nSome one suggested you use SpyBot Search & Destroy.  The owner is a personal friend out of Germany.  Friend or no friend I would not use this antispyware program.  Not because he and his students in their University designed the program, because it finds nothing but a few cookies and always "NOS".   Plus the scanner likes to freeze up on you.     \n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France.

Maybe this is a virus or an adware/spyware, to prevent this delete all of your Temporary Files in your computer, or let the anti-virus/anti-spyware to do it for you

Your computer assigned it in error.\n\nGo to the folder again where this is happening. Click on TOOLS then FOLDER OPTIONS. Then go to File Types and make sure your folders are set to open with the correct application to fix this problem.\n\nIf you need more help, just contact me.\nDont play around with the registry unless youre a professional, you will screw up your computer and you will be worst off.\n\nDo a system restore to yesterday. It will restore it back to how it was. It usually works well if its just a small problem like youre having. Hopefully you didnt install any programs since yesterday.

1>NTauthority/system is a high level account under NT variant computers (NT, 2000, XP (i think))\n\n2>There are known worms that act with ntauthority/system rights\n\n3>you MIGHT be infected.\n\nFirst off, run your anti-spyware and antivirus programs again, after making sure you have the latest DATs (updates)\nThen, if you're clean, you MIGHT want to do a web based scan (look it up on google "free web based antivirus" or something similar.\n\nIf you're still clean, delete all the copies of your programs that you have (only if you're certain that they are only copies)\n\nThen defrag your drive.  \n\nCould you be infected? Maybe.  But up to date antivirus software ought to be able to catch most worms/virii.  Especially those of the sort that find it necessary to let you be aware that they're copying your programs

these are all legitimate programs... what makes you think they are viruses?\ninfact... if you delete the desktop.ini (assuming it's not a copy in a wrong location in which case it may be a virus) you'll ruin your OS.

I'm suspecting that either your computer is hacked or some virus is doing it. I remember an old virus was doing this several years ago.

If it is under your favorites it is most likely some spyware or some crappy offer that a program you installed is link to.  Otherwise we need more details.

Try it again. I had the same problem. Once I redid it, it showed up on my desktop. From there, you can sign in. If it doesn't work, just try again. Also, try at a time when everything is not at it's busiest ie during daytime.

Make sure to "sign-out" every time you use your account...sometimes your PC will hold on to certain information and act on it. Also, when you sign in again, I would go in under the "secure" mode just to be safe! Also, go to your "Tools" menu, then "internet options...next, click on "clear history" as well as "delete cookies" and also "delete files"...these are all temporary internet files that your computer hast setup while you were surfing the web! They should be cleaned out often to avoid situations like you are having! Hope this helps!
