You might want to take a look at this article:

Quoting from the article, here's the easiest approach:

1. Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\repair, and then
click OK.
2. Right-click autoexec.nt, and then click Copy.
3. Click Start, click Run, type c:\windows\system32, and
then click OK.
4. Right-click anywhere in that folder, and then click
Paste.
5. Right-click the Autoexec.nt file that you just copied,
and then click Properties.
6. Click to select Read-Only, and then click OK.

Note You must enable Read-Only permissions or the file will be
removed after you restart Windows.

Here are a couple of sites with alternative solutions to this
problem:

From what I can gather, this problem is becoming a common
occurrence. It looks as if some sort of spyware/malware may be
at
the root of the problem. For that reason, you might want to run
a
scan with an updated antivirus program. You should also
download,
install, update and run the following antispyware programs:

AdAware

Spybot S & D

Good luck
