HELP!!!! Cannot find the file syscnfg.exe

[C. Noll]

I receive the error message "Cannot find the file
syscnfg.exe" every time I start-up my computer. I
click "OK" and then I get "Remove it from the registry" At
the same time in the upper left hand corner I see a file
open named "explore.exe" Do I have a virus??? How do I get
rid of this and fix my computer??? I have Windows 2000
Professional. HELP!!!!

My Documents opens on start-up as well. hmmmmm.

Thank you!

* Start\Settings\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer
Management(Local)\System Information\Software Environment\Startup
Programs|View|Advanced, then in the "Location" column, you'll find the path
to the "Startup" location either in the "Startup" directories or from the
registry's "Run" keys.

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

You can delete the shortcuts that you no longer want to run.


HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

You can delete the string value for the program you no longer want to run.
