locating and deleting 'file'

[Guest]

I tried to change the way ''i log onto window's'' by changing to the ''
windows welcome screen'' as at the moment it is the ''classic'' screen.
I got a message saing that a file that was on my computer had changed the
way i log on, and to delete this file before i could change back to the
''windows view'.....so i looked in all of my computer and could NOT find this
' file'......

The file name is :RtlGina2dll
windows xp operating system.
Please can anyone tell me how to find this file and delete it ....Thankyou ,
Angi

I believe that this is a replacement for the Windows XP OEM msgina.dll used
for logon screen and fast user switching. The link below will help you reset
to the default which has been replaced by some third party install.
