go to My Computer - C Drive - Windows - Common File Folder - if it is empty - Delete it, and your done.  Good Luck, if this does not work I have a couple other methods.  Just add more detail to your question and I will respond.\n\nOk, restart your PC.  When the folder comes up click on the little folder icon with the up arrow at the top of that window, from there you should be able to find where it is comming from, then delete it. Let me know by adding more details to your orignal message.  Once again Good Luck

Try deleting the file using Gipo's MoveonBoot:\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Boot-Manager-Disk/MoveOnBoot.shtml\n\nYou might need to delete the file, before your computer starts up, so that it won't continue to replicate.\n\nBtw, what's the name of the file?

I would have to agree that your either have a virus and/or you have a very serious spyware or trojan that is keeping your computer busy. Run Spybot, Adaware, or other spyware programs if you can. Also Winpatrol and other programs can tell you what starts up when windows boots up. Ctrl +Alt + delete at the same time can bring up Task Manager. This will tell you what processes are running and how much CPU it is using. Maybe you could end those processes that are going crazy. It may be hard to run anti-virus and anti-spyware when it is too busy with the problem. TrendMicro has a free scanner. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

depending on ur OS, use msconfig or sysedit command from the run of start menu and start closing all the unnecessary application starting during booting up. this would solve ur problem... its bcoz of some software uninstalled, but not in a proper way. try it out... if this doesn't help... there's no other way out except formatting and reloading the OS,\n\nby the way, does this error emerges even when u log on in safe mode? if not, u r lucky, don't format and follow what i suggested formerly

Try removing some rarely used programs from your start menu. These programs run automatically when you start windows up. There are probably some that have been downloaded from the internet. You'll see thier icons on your desktop or in the bottom right corner of your computer. If that does'nt work, go to my computer, then add/remove program to see if an unknown program has been downloaded to your computer and remove it. Additionally, you may just have to many programs going and not enough memory (RAM). You may have to quit some programs or erase your hard drive and start over. Make sure you save important files. I hope this works for you.

best way is to remove and re-instal the program which is creating the problem. to remove a "normal" (not Office for example) program, go to start, control panel, add or remove programs, and select the offending programs. Re-install a version you trust

First, do start -control panel -add & remove programs\nRemove any you don't want/use.\nThen do start - run. Enter 'msconfig' without the quotes and (if you know what they are) disable any programs from starting up on boot that you don't want to.\nSpyware/adware scans are probably worth doing, if you don't do them regularly already.

you can use reg cleaner or just disable it in msconfig\nyou can run msconfig on run... just type msconfig

Start->Run->type MSconfig\n\nThen go to the startup tab. \nIt should be under there as whatever the process name is. Just uncheck it. Hit apply then when you computer restarts a window pops up telling you that things have been changed. This will pop up everytime so hit that do not show again message. Everything is still ok.\n\nOr go under start menu->all programs->start up\nAnd delete the short cut out of there if there is one. If not do the other thing i said.

What program is it? Try right clicking it in the taskbar and looking for "properties" or something similar... lots of times there's a box you can uncheck to disable starting up when windows starts.\n\nAlternately, goto the start menu and hit "Run..." type msconfig and hit enter.... Hit the last tab called startup and look in there for the name of the program and uncheck it, and it wont startup again. You may have to expand the column that tells the location of the file on the system to figure out what those processes are for, because sometimes the names can be a little vague.\n\nHope that helps.

1.) Restart your computer\n2.) Use Task Manager to End the process that warn you.\n3.) Delete the file in Safe Mode.\n\nOn start up computer press F8 constantly. Then select safe mode.\n\nI think this trick will help you......

Look down the list and often by looking at the file name or the folder it is in you can guess what it controls.  If not, try turning it off, reboot and see what happens.  \n\nThe worst that could happen is your computer might hang up before it gets all the ay into Windows.  Then you would need to reboot in Safe Mode (press the F8 key during the initial boot up and when the menu appears select Safe Mode).  \n\nIn Safe Mode none ot the startup stuff it loaded.  Go into msconfig and turn whatever it was back on.\n\nLittle bit of trial and error and you should be able to detect what you do and don't want to run.

This could have resulted from virus,So in order to terminate process go to Windows Task Manager ,right click on the process and click End process tree\n\nThen use(Start->Run->type msconfig) then remove the un wanted process by un clicking the unwanted process that boots up every time your system boots.

There is a program called Quick Startup that disables some startup programs. I used it and my computer loads a lot faster.
