System Foldrr, Admin

My system folder opens when i enter windows, how to resolve this problem?

In safe mode, there is a new profile called administrator. Is it the same as
other profiles with admin rights?

Search using Google!
http://www.google.com/
(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

Example search (your words):
http://www.google.com/search?q=My+sy...nter+windo ws

What all those links (the valid ones) will basically do is lead you to:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/170086

As for the "administrator" account - not new - always nbeen there. That is
the built-in administrator account. Likely - if you have never used it and
you are the only user of this machine - it has no password assigned to it.

If you have to ask - then don't mess with the registry at all.

Whatever you hope to gain out of it is probably not going to happen and
unless you know full well what you are doing - for which there is no tool
out there anyone that does know what they are doing trusts completely - it
is better to leave the registry alone. That 1/2 of a percent of extra boost
you might squeeze out of the machine for a day or so is not worth the
possibility of the 100% death of the system. ;-)

No! Stay as far away from such software as possible. Any such program
is far more likely to create a problem that to solve one.

No checking that the registry is correct is needed. If you have a
specific problem, address it. If you don't, don't try to fix what
isn't broken.

I share the same view as nowadays the free softwares are not going to help
much, but worse

Free vs. Pay is not the discussion here that I see.

IMO, there are many free software packages out ther that fill gaps not even
provided for by software you'd pay for. If you are speaking of *just*
registry cleaning utilities - free vs. pay - doesn't matter. The risk you
take is not worth the return.

Thank you, but from what you say I don't think we share the same view
at all. This has nothing to do with free software, in my opinion.

Lots of free software is excellent. But *all* registry cleaning
software, whether commercial or free, is nothing but snake oil, and
far more likely to cause a problem than to correct one.
