On an NT workstation, after upgrading to Netscape 6.21 (yuck), a message 
kept appearing, can't find aim.exe .... yadadada. In the registry, I 
took out all references to AIM. HOWEVER, now, when the workstation boots 
up, it opens the System32 folder! Needless to say, I don't want that 
folder to just open up on the desktop (or anywhere else).

>From the Netscape help pages for 4.74 (don't know if this applies, but it might be worth checking out):

On Windows NT systems, to prevent a "system32" Windows Explorer window from appearing when Windows starts up: 

        1.Launch the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe). 
        2.Open this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. 
        3.If the (Default) Name variable has a value of "" (an empty string), delete the Name variable. After the deletion, the value for (Default) should be
          "(value not set)". 

HTH,
David
