How can one tell? You've not posted enough info. When and how does =
this crop up? Before, during, or after Windows loads?
Are you having a problem logging in?

my winpatrol which monitors for new startup items warned me and since I have
not installed or made any changes I chose to not allow this item, but then
every few minutes winpatrol notifies me again, which is not how it usually
works.

So something keeps trying to put this in my startup. Maybe I should allow
it, but I need to know what it is first.

Paul,
Since I've never used WinPatrol, I'm taking the liberty of quoting Bob =

1) Open WinPatrol.=20

3) After a moment, Internet Explore (or your default browser) will open=20

Also, here is a tool from SysInternals that may help you get an insight =
on what's running.
Autoruns (checks & shows what's set to auto-load at Windows startup)

Hi Paul,

One of the new features of WinPatrol is to monitor some additional
startup registry entries not typically listed by Startup monitors.
Many of these locations have been abused lately by spyware/adware
people.

The one you're seeing is Winlogon Shell which by default should be =
userinit.exe,
You should not be seeing multiple warning unless some other program is
trying to change this value.
A common one lately is something called nail.exe.
If you see this, then you have a bigger problem.

It may be that you've found a bug which others haven't experienced.
This is most likely since it is a new feature.

Maurice has provided the best advice which is to post or Email the
WinPatrol report file.
Click on the WinPatrol Options tab and you'll see a Full Report button.
This button will create a file called WinPatrolLog.html.
You can post this file or better yet, Email a copy to
. We'll see you're taken care of.

For information on other new startup locations see
http://www.winpatrol.com/upgrade.html.
If you haven't already, I'd also recommend downloading the most current
version which is 9.7.0.18.

Thanks!

And for anyone else who viewed this topic and wondered here's what we
have in our PLUS knowledgebase on Userinit.exe.

-----
Userinit.exe is a process in Windows NT 3.x or later, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP. It specifies the programs that Winlogon runs when a user
logs on. By default, Winlogon runs Userinit.exe, which runs logon
scripts, reestablishes network connections, and then starts
Explorer.exe, the Windows user interface. This file can be configured
to add, remove, or substitute programs. We'd recommend against removal.

For more information you read what Microsoft says at:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...ntry/12330.asp

Thanks again,
Bill

Paul,
Since I've never used WinPatrol, I'm taking the liberty of quoting Bob Dietz
quote
1) Open WinPatrol.
2) Click on the Report button in the bottom right corner of the window.
3) After a moment, Internet Explore (or your default browser) will open
with a report. Click on a blank part of that page and press the CTRL
and A keys at the same time to select everything.
4) Press the CTRL and C keys at the same time to copy everything to
the clip board.
5) Start a reply to this message, then press CTRL and V keys at the
same time to paste the report into the message.

Also, here is a tool from SysInternals that may help you get an insight on
what's running.
Autoruns (checks & shows what's set to auto-load at Windows startup)

So something keeps trying to put this in my startup. Maybe I should
allow it, but I need to know what it is first.

How can one tell? You've not posted enough info. When and how does
this crop up? Before, during, or after Windows loads?
Are you having a problem logging in?

so why did winpartol never warn be about it before, just yesterday after
upgrading to latest winpatrol, it warns me of this new entry, but it is not
new, from what u say.

And for anyone else who viewed this topic and wondered here's what we
have in our PLUS knowledgebase on Userinit.exe.

-----
Userinit.exe is a process in Windows NT 3.x or later, Windows 2000, and
Windows XP. It specifies the programs that Winlogon runs when a user
logs on. By default, Winlogon runs Userinit.exe, which runs logon
scripts, reestablishes network connections, and then starts
Explorer.exe, the Windows user interface. This file can be configured
to add, remove, or substitute programs. We'd recommend against removal.

For more information you read what Microsoft says at:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...ntry/12330.asp

Thanks again,
Bill

Hi Paul,

Thank you for sending along your WinPatrol Log.
I'm not sure why suddenly you should see this message but it is one of
the new locations we monitor with WinPatrol 9.7.
( HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon )
Some of our early versions of WinPatrol 9.7 did have some problems so
like Scotty may be confused about if he's already ok'd this file
already.

If WinPatrol continues to give you this message I would recommend is
going to the Startup Program list and when you see Winlogon Userinit
select it.
The Remove button should now say Reset. Go ahead and click on Reset
and you should be ok and no longer see this message.
Everything else in your log looks ok.

If you continue to experience problems it would be due to another
security program also messing with this program or locking the registry
entry so we're not able to update it. If that's the case we'll do some
more testing with Teatimer, ZoneLabs and others.

Thanks again,
Bill Pytlovany
