I installed a windows xp update on 11/17/03 and since I
have done that the welcome screen is displayed for 30
seconds and then I get an error message that says--
windows cannot find ,copy,make sure you typed the name
correctly and then try again.to search for a file,click
the start button,and then click search.when I close this
message my desk top appears and everything works fine.
Thanks,Jerry

1. Open Regedit by going to Start>>Run and then typing regedit.

2. Then do a find for "winshow" When any key is found, delete it by
pressing the delete key. Be sure to hit the F3 (Find Next) key after
each. There are about 10 or so that need to be find. Regedit will say
"Finished Searching" when complete.

3. Repeat the same step above, but this time search for "winlink"

4. After that is done, close regedit.

5. You will then have to search for the the .dll files stored on the
harddrive. Go to search for files at c: Then search for "winshow" and
"winlink" Delete any files that you find. (Im my case I did not find
any files named winlink)

6. Restart the computer
