Error C Windows System32 Tools Delfolders.exe
2004. Page 1 of 2 1 2 Next > Jim Bennett Guest When my machine starts I get this message: "Windows cannot find C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Tools\Delfolders.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search" I have checked the startup folder, looked in msconfig under start up, searched the registry, and looked at win.ini and system.ini and cannot find any references to this file or the call to run it. I do not have a Delfolders.exe file in the system32/tool directory- luckily. I thought it might be a remnant of a virus, but i cant seem to figure out where the call to run this program is coming from so that i could delete it. A dejanews search shows this has happened to many people out there but I have yet to find anyone who fixed it or reported the fix. Any ideas?

I've been over at the Malware removal section and done all sorts of clean ups and scans. this seems to be leftover and won't go away. Broni has tried several things that haven't worked. You could see the log over there, or I can post for you here June Reply With Quote March 2nd, 2011,06:08 PM #2 jdc2000 View Profile View Forum Posts Site Moderator Join Date Feb 2000 Location Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA Posts 14,377 Link to malware removal thread: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...20#post1354520 Some rootkits are known to alter Windows so that it won't show you certain files, even though they are actually there. Have you removed the hard drive and attached it as a slave to another (clean) system, and then searched for the offending file with the drive attached as a slave?
