Copy Error Message

[Chris Z.]

Hi all,

Ever since I've done the last Microsoft Windows update,
I've received the following error message when I click on
one of the profiles on my Windows XP Home system:

"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."

I've noticed that there are a few people here in this
newsgroup that are having the exact same problem. Any
assistance concerning this issue would be appreciated. I
can't find any information on this anywhere & it boggles
my mind. If anybody can also give me the number of the
last update so I can remove it, that would be great also.


Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Chris Z.

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
