   This is my first time in this conference I think. I hope it is still active   
   and I can get some ideas on a small problem I have..   
      
   My Windows 7 computer has recently started generating an error while booting.   
   It pops up a window saying that it can't find a file and gives the location   
   as being in the main User folders in a Temporary file folder. The whole   
   error message reads:   
      
   Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Rob\AppData\Local\Temp\ups.exe. Make sure you   
   typed the name correctly and then try again.   
      
   Obviously I didn't type anything. I tried looking for a referrence to a file   
   called ups.exe in the Startup programs and then hoping to find the command   
   line for it, I did a registry search for the file name, and neither showed a   
   listing. If this were the olden days I'd expect to be looking in the   
   Autoexec.bat file for a command to run a program, but I'm not sure where they   
   set up things like that in Windows 7.   
      
   Possibly the command was run through Windows Power Shell since right clicking   
   on the error seemed to show that program name as the possible source but I   
   couldn't get any History of commands to show that from Power Shell either.   
      
   Any thoughts of where a command to run a program could be hidden where it   
   would run during boot-up? Since the ups.exe file doesn't exist on the computer   
   it would seem like something that was either stopped from installing or   
   something that was deleted from the Temporary folder.   
      
   Appreciate any help..
