[stargatetom]

hi,
heres the problem, when i double click on any file that
is on my desktop (i.e. my documents or my music) all of
the icons that are on the desktop dissapear. The icons
then come back and with a grey box with a big red cirle
with an X in it saying "c:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd32.exe.
Windows cannot find c:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd32.exe make
sure you typed the name correctly and try again."

this same warning box also appears when i try to access
the control panel

can anyone offer me assistance, it would be most
appriciated. THANKS
