batch file error message

I just loaded some applications that we use for our
machines and when I reboot on Windows 2000, I am getting
an error message for a 'c:\buildbu.bat' file that reads:

'Cannot find the file 'c:\buildbu.bat' (or one of its
components). Make sure the path and filename are correct
and that all required libraries are available.'

Where can I get this file?...I did not delete it, so I
don't know how this happened. I got this message the same
day I received the computer and completed the OS setup
when you first turn on the computer.

Any feedback on this would help me.

Thank you,
Loraine

Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.

I have a Windows XP Pro install on a Dell Inspiron 2650. I found the
buildbu.bat file in my root directory. It is three lines long:

del c:\dell\bldbubg.exe
del c:\mfg\bldbubg.exe
del c:\buildbu.bat


It looks like a cleanup script used to take out files used at the
first boot. The last line has this batch file delete itself every time
it is run. Either your system did not originally create this file or
it created the file, ran it (so it deleted itself), and forgot that it
ran it. Recreating this batch file may solve your problem, but be sure
to copy the two other files in case deleting them causes problems.
