Fritz, take a look here.

Did you look for the file in C:\Windows\System32 Folder? If it's
not there and if you have a WinXP CD
Go to StartRun type: msconfig Click on "Expand File" in lower
Right and then follow the Instructions.

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.

Go to C:\Windows\System32 Select ToolsFolder
OptionsViewAdvanced Settingsclick on Show
Hidden files and folders and uncheck Hide protected operating system
files. Then look in
System32 Folder for DllCache folder. Open and scroll to almost bottom
to winlogon.exe
Rt click and select copy. Backup to System32Folder and rt click and
select Paste.

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!!

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.
