 Explorer window won’t stay closed
Desktops, Management, Microsoft Windows, OS, Security, Servers, SQL Server
This is only happening on one of the 3 servers I manage. The system32 window keeps appearing everytime someone logs into that server. I have done everything that I have thought to do to try to fix it, I got a KB article from MS and looked through all of that but nothing applied. anyone else have any ideas? Thanks

Hi !!

Use Registry Editor to view the following two Windows registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun

Select Export from the Registry menu and export the key to a REG file, so you can undo any deletions if necessary.

Look carefully at each value in the right-hand pane. If the value’s data is blank, contains only single quotation marks, or otherwise appears to be corrupted, delete the value.

Repeat the process for the other key, then restart your system to verify that the problem Explorer window does not appear at start-up.
