error at startup cmd32.exe

[Mike Milovanovic]

i cleaned a virus form a PC. I get an error message when
i start the machine that says " Windows can not find
C:\windows\system32\cmd32.exe Make sure you type the name
correctly and try again.

There is nothing in startup. Are there any file at bootup
that would hold this command. If so how do i get to those
files to edit them.


Thank you

This is not a Windows file. The command to run it is a left over remnant
from a virus.
