I had the DOS window open up at my Windows start up and then have the same "c:/moo.reg" message pop up. But now it's fixed! Thank goodness...because it's my dad's computer and I'm using the program "Limeware" quite frequently. Anyway, go to start:search:for files or folders and type in *.exe . Tap the last modified bar so you can go to the most recent files...scroll down until you see "explorer32". It will be 19KB! This just confirms if it's there or not. It won't let you do anything to it from this area. So, go to search:run and type in msconfig and hit ok. System Configuration Utility will pop up. Hit the startup tab and uncheck the box next to (Windows Explorer Update Build 1142). Most likely there are two of these...in mine there were. Uncheck BOTH of them. Hit the apply button. Hit Ok. Your computer will now restart. It should start up without the DOS thing popping up. But, this doesn't mean it's gone! Open Windows Explorer and double click Windows. Scroll down to System and double click. Scroll down into files and look for "explorer32". Delete that thing!!! Then, empty your recycle bin. After this you need to go back to start:run:msconfig:startup and hit the button that says "cleanup". It will remove both of the "Windows Explorer Update Build 1142"s. Hit apply and restart your computer. Welcome back to how it was...now be more careful...I know I will.
