Delfolders.exe

[James Howell]

Mates computer runs win xp, and is currently a high level
spec intel pc. Has reinstalled a different version of Win
XP on system, after inexperienced user put to much
rubbish on system.

The computer, after loading the users info brings up a
box that says that the pc can't find delfolders.exe,
location C:\Windows\System32\Tools\Delfolders.exe

Is it autoexec.bat or similar that is requesting a file
from an incorrect location, Kazaa and WinMx has been on
the system. The fact that the sytem is requesting the
file after initial loadup would suggest that it is part
of a file/program that has been installed before or after
the reinstall of windows, that requests start menu
privilages.

any ideas please email to

MS Knowlede base hasn't got a clue, which would suggest
third party software
