system 32

[Edwin Jones]

Every time I start my computer I get a pop-up message
that reads "cannot find 'C:\winnt\system32\system32.exe'.
Make sure you have typed the name correctly, and then try
again. To search for a file, click the start button,and
then click search." What does this message mean and how
do I correct it? I Have Windows XP Pro. OS.

I need help to remove the remnants of the worm. I don't
know much about the Registry and File Systems. I would be
very thankful for any help you could pass along about how
to make the necessary changesto the Registry and File
System.
