Is this Registry entry related to just the installation of Windows
from Drive E? If true and nothing else, removing this Regigistry
entry should probably be OK. (But as always, backup the Registry
before editing it.) Without knowing what is being installed, the
easiest way to access autorun.inf for this particular instance might
be to insert the cdrom and from Start>>>Run, select autorun.exe and
run it if it did not start on its own.

The presence of a file with a double extension, MS32DLL.dll.vbs, would lead me
to believe your computer is infected with some sort of malware. A Google search
on that file name only serves to reinforce that conclusion.

If you expect to get assistance in cleaning up this mess, you're going to have
to provide more details or the best you're going to get is general advice. Take
a look at this web site.

The advice Malke provides with respect to a program named HijackThis may be
something you want to explore.

Finally, if you haven't done so already, post your question to the
microsoft.public.security.virus newsgroup. If you're lucky a gentleman by the
name of David Lipman will see your post and offer assistance. Note: If you
receive a response from someone named pcbutts1 offering any advice, ignore it.

Good luck
