slow startup

[Johnny]

Now-a-days at startup i get an error that says:

" Windows cannot find 'copy' " blah blah blah

I've never seen that before and I don't know where it
came from. I keep my startup list in check and nothing
is in there that shouldn't be. Nothing listed in event
viewer either. So I don't know what to do now.

New programs I installed recently:

BulletProof FTP and FTP Server
Leadfoot Racing Demo

1. Open Regedit by going to Start>>Run and then typing regedit.

2. Then do a find for "winshow" When any key is found, delete it by
pressing the delete key. Be sure to hit the F3 (Find Next) key after
each. There are about 10 or so that need to be find. Regedit will say
"Finished Searching" when complete.

3. Repeat the same step above, but this time search for "winlink"

4. After that is done, close regedit.

5. You will then have to search for the the .dll files stored on the
harddrive. Go to search for files at c: Then search for "winshow" and
"winlink" Delete any files that you find. (Im my case I did not find
any files named winlink)

6. Restart the computer
