Default rundll32.exe

I cannot open items in my control panel - 'display, add/remove programs,
etc'. Message pop up - Windows cannot find c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe.
What do I do?

Hi,
Usually you if the rundll32.exe is corrupted or damaged, you will find a
copy of it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache . You can copy it to the location
C:\Windows\Systrem32 and reboot your machine.

Cannot find the Rundll32.exe file when you open Control Panel

Make sure the machine free from malware and viruses by running a
full/complete scan by downloading one of the below app and update its
definitions then run a complete scan.

Perhaps you can just change the .exe extension of SuperAntiSpyware to
..com .
IOW superantispyware.exe is changed to superantispyware.com or just
change the whole name to brickman.com .
