pop up

[Tim Vreeburg]

When starting up my computer the first thing I see is a
pop up message that says;
Copy Windows cannot find copy make sure you typed name
correctly and try again. To search for a file, click
start button and then click search.

How do I get this to go away?

Check your startup settings to find out what is causing this.
