I just upgraded my motherboard & processor. Everything
seems to be fine,
except when I start or restart my machine I get a message
that says -
Missing C:\Windows\System32\Tools\DelFolders.exe. When I
hit ok every thing
finishes loading and appears to run fine. However when I
load new software I
get the same message before the Windows setup wizard
finishes. Can I copy
this file to this location from my XP disk, and if so
where would I find it.
If not - what can I do?
Thanx Dale
 
Stick the XP disk in and browse it to the desired folder. You can search
the disk if necessary for the file. Copy the little devil and paste it to
the appropriate directory on your hard drive.

There are several references to this in google, one of which suggests a
virus.
