Most of the time I boot up I get Windows cannot
find 'copy'
What is causing this and how can I get rid of it????
Also how can I get windows to keep my preferance of
viewing details in explorer????
Thanks in advance
 
Hi,

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

Or he could simply download and use Spybot Search and Destroy, or AdAware.
