eror message at start up

[Guest]

when i start or reboot my computer it shows the desktop with out any icons or
the system tray bar. all i get is an error message cannot find
C:\\WINDOWS/system32/tools/delfolders.exe and to use search to see if i can
find it and make sure it is correctly typed in. cannot find it. now i tryed
to repair my windows app with the disk also i uninstalled and reinstalled
windows xp home edition but it still is happening. When i get the error
message and windows stops loading if i click ok it will continue loading. I
have a lexmark all in one printer that will not work. when i try to load the
software i get the error message and i cannot use the printer. I m not too
naive about computers but im no genius niether this really has me going i
want to get it fixed before it causes more problems plus i need my printer
and fax machine any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated

Have you tried a Google search on "delfolders.exe "?

You will find posts like the following:

Go to Start > Run > type MSCONFIG click OK > Startup tab > uncheck any
reference to the LossRun.exe, Delfolders.exe and any others that are
supposed to be in a '/Tool' folder. You likely used a spyware cleaner at one
time and they were all removed except for the empty 'Tools' folder. However,
the registry still has 'LossRun.exe' in the startup folder. After unchecking
this reference & clicking OK, reboot. If the error message doesn't return,
go to the C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder and delete only the 'Tools' folder
inside of System32, do not touch System 32.
