Delete instances of WINLOGON.EXE then restore it ...Here is how to restore it to your WinXP
OS.

The following assumes the WinXP CDROM is in drive "D:".
Go to; Start --> Run

Type;
expand d:\i386\winlogon.ex_ c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe
Hit the Enter key.
expand d:\i386\winlogon.ex_ c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386\winlogon.exe
Hit the Enter key.
expand d:\i386\winlogon.ex_ c:\windows\system32\dllcache\WINLOGON.EXE
Hit the Enter key.

{ you can copy & paste the above command lines }
