Sul@Win7 said:When I boot up to Windows XP, a certain folder would appear;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft
This happened after I installed MS Security Essentials.
Not sure whether this is related though;
tried looking at msconfig and couldn't detect any new changes..
What else can I try?
Elmo said:That should read:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe -hide
.. but the space after the word Microsoft confuses the path to the command.
Run regedit, press F3 to search for the value "msseces.exe -hide" and
modify the line to read:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials\msseces.exe" -hide
You can copy/paste the above line so you won't mis-type.

You can use Autoruns to remove the "File not found" items.

Use Autoruns to remove the unwanted start-up entries
To identify what loads when you boot use Autoruns (freeware from
Microsoft).
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx
With Autoruns you can uncheck an item, which disables it from
starting,or you can right click an item and then delete it. If you
uncheck you can recheck to re-enable the item. It is a much safer
approach than editing the Registry and better than using msconfig..
Another useful feature of the programme is that you can right click
an item and select Search Online to get information about the item
selected.
Please let me me know how you get on,
