When does this error occur? There is no such folder as you describe, and
that isn't a realistic command unless you simply want to open the folder in
Windows Explorer (note, there's no filename.) I suspect that all you have is
broken startup command and that it was probably meant to launch Spyware or a
Virus that you recently removed from the laptop.
Does any of this cause anything to click in your memory? Did you perform a
malware scan just before the error started occurring? What anti-malware
utilities do you use?
Go to Start>Run, type in MSCONFIG and then <enter>. Look on the Startup tab
for anything that has that path. Also look on the Services tab, check the
box that says Hide all Microsoft services, then look for the path again. If
you still haven't found it, on that Services tab, with the checkbox checked,
click the Disable All button, then on the General tab, uncheck Load Startup
Items. Click OK and reboot when prompted. While the machine is rebooting,
unplug the ethernet cable from the computer or the router (if using
broadband), or if using Dial-up, be sure that when you boot back up you stop
any dial-up connection attempt, and even temporarily go to Control
Panel>Internet Options (or right-click the big E on the Desktop, then
Properties), then go to the Connections tab and change it to "Never dial a
connection.)
Does the error still occur?
