Invaded machine?

System Information tool (MSINFO32) displays the list of all the system files
when you click the "Startup Programs" section ?:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/msinfofix.htm

If the problem occurs again (at every reboot), then one of your programs are
altering the "shell folder" paths incorrectly.

Hi all,

I went to sysinfo -> startup programs and it took a lot longer than it
should. When if finally came up it showed hundreds of entries that were
duplicated. It said they were coming from "NT AUTHORITY SYSTEM" and
".DEFAULT".

Where can I go with windows explorer to delete these files/programs that are
infecting my boot routine?

thanks,
charles......
