Default Missing dll file

Attempting to start system and this message appears after the sign in

Another longer message in a sseperate box said
"z:\Users\xxxxxxxxxxx\Desktop refers to a location that is
unavailable........"

Doing a search using Everything I found that the missing file exists
in several places on the computer, either on C or Z.
(Z is my SSD for data.)

I do have a clone of the system that is a couple of months old and
wonder if I would copy the missing file from the appropriate folder of
the clone and copy it to the current drive in use.

Would this solve the problem?

Thanks for any help.


Use msconfig.exe or SysInternals' AutoRuns to determine which startup
item is trying to load the DLL (probably using rundll32.exe to call a
method inside a DLL).

found several possibilities, like:

You did not mention if this is a new problem (never happened before),
something that happened after you updated or installed some software, or
an old problem that has been happening for awhile.
