Please advice how to settle this problem.

OS Win XP Pro SP-2
 
Move the folder out of the Startup folder.
Reboot and test.
 
@bcastner
Thanks followed your advice-no more this shotcut appears on Desktop.
Seems no other malfunctioning.
Separately of a/m problem, after reboot noticed , almost just a flash,notification on blue screen:
C:\System\Windows\System 32\Autochk.exe program not found
Should reboot several times to can read this.
Checked in My Computer>Menage>System and found Error message that SSDP Discovery Service is Disabled.Change this settings in Services to be
"Automatic" but nothig change- this meassage on blue screen continues to appear i.e. "Autocheck. exe program not found"
Any advice ,please
 
1 Star,Run,chknfts/D doesn't work (I have FAT 32 )maybe that's the reason.
2 Having trouble to run Windows Recovery Console.After inserted my XP-SP2 CD produced after striming my old Win XP SP1 with program AutoStreamer -now Windows rejets my
Product number- receiving the mesage that this number is not valid-start poolong my hare out-what a nice situation.
As I already have this CD ,pleae let me know if sfc/scannow will help to solve this ,or not.
 
Try to run Sfc /Scannow ,but besides of fact I applied all to disable Rejeting CD Room acces to localy loged-on user only policy- stil receivin a message "Files that are required for Windows to ran properly must be copied to DLL Cash".
Seems that only way to resolve this problem is to use Windows Recovery Console- but how to do this when it says my Product number "is invalid"
I check for the Autochk.exe file and they are on their places in system 32 and i386 folders.
Other users complains thet their computers reboots- my not- just showing this mesage as a flash and after all is normal.
Realy very, very strange behaviour.
 
It say I have an invalid ID number.Repeat created this CD with AutoStreamer and my CD SP 1.
Why rejects my Product ID number ? -This one from retail CD SP1 I don't know.
 
Try using your original CD to launch Recovery Console. See if you can run Chkdsk /r from that. If you still have access to XP you can run the same Error checking from within XP.

Right click your Drive icon/ Properties/ Tools/ Error Checking. Select both check boxes and reboot to start ChkDsk if it requests a restart.

You might have to do your Slipstream procedure again.

SFC /Scannow may or may not fix your problem there is no 100% guarantee with the program. All it does is check for incorrect or corrupted System files, and replaces any it finds.

If they don't work you could try repairing windows by running it over itself. You will lose all your windows updates (no problem if you substitute them with SP2) but your files and programs will be untouched.

How to Perform an In-Place Upgrade (Reinstallation) of Windows XP (Q315341)

And if you have Product Key problems with that you can ring Microsoft and they will Activate your XP over the phone.

HOW TO: Change the Product Key at the Time of Activation
 
You can still use the floppy disk method (discussed earlier) to access Recovery Console.
 
Thank you so much.After different atempts, finaly sorted the problem by running Windows over itself.
Boot new created XP SP2 CD in DOS mode and all, including my old ID number was accepted.Reinstal is done successfuly,all my files are in their place,maybe some of the programs should be reinstaled, but this is O.K.
