System can't find 'copy'

Just after I login, I get an error box containing the
following message: "Windows cannot find 'copy'. Make
sure you type the name correctly, and then try again. To
search for a file, click the Start button, and then click
Search". I think the 'copy' command has been lost due to
anti-virus software. Not sure how to get it back. I can
click OK on the box and continue the login process.
System appears to run fine after this error message.

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
