On NT have a problem that every time a user logs in a box comes up that says C:\Program not found. You click OK and the message goes away. Usually I just edited the registry under H-Key-Local-Machine and remove the odd entry from the run key and problem is resolved. This time I didn't see any thing strange in that key. Any place else to look? It evens happen when logging is as Admin. Nothing listed in the start up folder for all users either. Thanks Three servers for the admins under the influence of rye,
Seven routers for the network techs in their halls of stone,
Nine workstations for mortal users doomed to die,
One NT box from the dark lord on his throne
in the land of Redmond where the shadows lie,
One box to run them all,
One box to blind them,
One box to control them all
and i
 
As far as I vaguely recall, when last time I hade this problem, I found that one of the entries was missing quotes around the command line (i.e. if you try to run c:\program files\file.exe without quotes, that is the message you will get). I do not remember if it was one of the entries in registry or a shortcut in the StartUp.

Good luck.
