Default winlogon.exe file

Tx Rich.
But that isn't what I was trying to get.
I was trying to get Aart Jensen to explain to me how to find the entry in
msconfig as explained in his email.
My feeling is that his thery may be the real problem here--that is: the
remnant of a virus is asking for that file upon boot and by deleting this
request for that file it should take care of the error message....
Just a speculation on my part....

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.

Go into msconfig and uncheck the items one at a time until you find the
offending program. It's basic troubleshooting. Can be a bit time
consuming but it works.

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.
