How can I stop the "Autoexec.nt" file from being deleted from the "System32" directory when I close windows down. If not, can I make windows copy a backup of this file at start up? Hi Please see if the following article helps: "Error Message When You Install or Start an MS-DOS or 16-Bit Windows Based Program" http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324767  SignatureWill Denny MS-MVP - Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups > How can I stop the "Autoexec.nt" file from being deleted from the > "System32" > directory when I close windows down.

I had to perform a reinstall of XP. Before this I never had this problem and I am wondering why it is an issue now. Could it be due to a trojan horse infection after the reinstall which took some removing? > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > >> > directory when I close windows down.

Hi Please check the PATH Statement via a command prompt see to see if both the following folders are included: %systemroot% %systemroot%\system32 SignatureWill Denny MS-MVP - Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups > Hi again > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] >> >> >> > copy a >> >> >> > backup of this file at start up? Hi Yes they are present and correct. I also have %system%\system32\wbem > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > >> >> >> > copy a > >> >> >> > backup of this file at start up? Hi LeeG, The automatic deletion of that file might be caused by some type of malware. Have a look at this thread: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=5f6f139.0409140618.749324fe%40posting.g oogle.com if the above URL wraps around, copy/paste the entire URL into a browser window or use this TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/5mw6l Regards, -- Patti MacLeod Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User > Thanks for the reply. > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > >> > directory when I close windows down.

Hi According to my anti virus program I am now clear of this trojan horse, (Trojan Horse IRC/Backdoor.sdbot.68.z), although it took two attempts to remove it. I followed the link and did a scan using "Pestscan" and it failed to recognise this Trojan so I think I can assume that I am rid of it. Thanks for the info. > Hi LeeG, > [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] > copy a > > > >> > backup of this file at start up? Hi Patty was referring to spyware, not a virus: Try these programs to check for any spyware that may be on your system: Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/ CWShredder - http://forum.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip Spy Sweeper - www.webroot.com Try SpyWareBlaster to stop intrusions: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html Also see the following links: http://aumha.org/a/parasite.htm http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm http://www.microsoft.com/security/articles/spyware.asp SignatureWill Denny MS-MVP - Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 74 lines] >> copy a >> > > >> > backup of this file at start up? It is. But if you make it read only it will remain there. Then you can run spybot search and destroy and adaware which should get rid of the problem. > Hi LeeG, > [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] > copy a >> > >> > backup of this file at start up?
