Hello all. I have a Gateway laptop with Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2. For some reason, the system32 folder always opens promptly at midnight. I suspect it's something simple causing it, but I don't know where to start looking. This has been happening for a few weeks. In msconfig, the only items that I could find that come from there are ctfmon.exe and wltray.exe. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can't help you unfortunately. I've had the same problem for the last few weeks it just started happening. It happens the exact same way, I have a desktop so I don't think it has anything to do with being a desktop or a laptop. I see you and I have the same operating system. It may have some thing to do with that.

What a strange problem! It's not a huge deal, but it can be annoying at times. I doubt it was a Windows Update, since I have automatic updates turned off. Maybe Microsoft is on a mission to annoy. :smile: Oh well. If you figure anything out, post it here. I'll do the same. Thanks for the reply! :grin:

Hmm... I'm not finding that in my MSCONFIG. Could you be more specific, please. Thanks!

I found on the web that "l:\ eng" in in the msconfig on Dell computers here is the link where I found it at. But it has to do with startup problems though. I think this is what Mon is talking about. I don't have a Dell computer and I could bet you don't either.
