How do I keep the System 32 folder from appearing on desk top

Just recently when turning on the computer the System 32 Folder appears on the screen. This is causing me concern as this should not happen and as we all know you don't tamper with any of the files. How can I ensure that this folder does not appear on the Desktop. Your help appreciated.
