| | Windows Desktop Startup Error Help!!! Hi guys, I was just wondering whether anyone knows how to rectify the following problem. On starting up windows vista i get an error message with heading "desktop" stating the following. "Could not load or run '""' specified in the registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry. It's not a big problem, but hey who really wants to start a computer and be welcomed by an error. lol. Also the error is correct it does not specify a file that is required, it exactly as written above. This error comes up after loading desktop icons, but before the sidebar is loaded and system tray programs initialised. Any help on the above would be greatly appreciated. Also if the resolution uses regedit or something could you guide me through it coz i'm not all that diligent or confident when touching the registry. Thanks in advance. Con |
