When I boot up the PC the windows explorer screen is always displayed with the System32 directory showing.
Any idea what I did to cause this, or how to stop it??

The first thing to do would be to check your settings in Explorer's view options. Got to Tools menu and navigate to Folder Options->View->Advanced Settings. If the "restore previous folder window at logon" option is checked, uncheck it.

I found this answer in another forum when I was having the same problem:

Goto:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
The 'Userinit' string should read:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
(including the comma at the end)
If "C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe," appears twice in a row, delete the repetition.
