When logging into windows, I am now getting a message that reads "Windows cannot find 'copy'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start buttong, and then Search." I also get a system error sound bite whenever this problem occurs at log in. Thanks for any help!
It doesn't happen everytime, but it is happening at different times and isn't confined to one specific user log on...all the user names on my computer experience this problem.

All I have to Say is "Spybot-Search and Destroy" From download.com..I ran it, and haven't had a problem since. And it finds the registry entry, too..all you have to do is run it..and it's free, of course!
