How do I actually LOCATE it in msconfig--that is not clear to me....
Where do I put the winlogon.exe name?
When I click on expand file, there are 3 options where to look for the
file...
1) File to Restore
2) Restore from (No idea....)
3) Save file in... (No idea...)
How do I actually do this?
TX!!

Hi,
I have an error message every time that I boot my computer WIN XP Pro
Edition that the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\services\winlogon.exe is

missing
as requested in registry.
How can I fix this?
I do not know if it is because of a virus that I deleted OR per haps

I
accidentally deleted that file

(C:\WINDOWS\system32\services\winlogon.exe).
Can I reinstall that file or find what is asking for this file in

registry,
etc.??
I have tried eveything now for one month but no success.....
Tx for your help.

winlogon.exe is supposed to live in \windows\system32\
and there may be a copy in windows\system32\dllcache

Perhaps this is a symptom of a previous virus.
