    I got the same message after I used Spybot Search and Destroy and tried to heal the infections having to restart because one could not be healed.

    Re: command prompt on startup problem

    Log on to the system in safe mode. Start regedit. Navigate to the following registry key and see if there is an entry with "c:\windows\system32\command.com ..." in the data portion of the entry:

    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
    If there is, please copy down the entry (or export it) and then delete the entry. Restart your system in normal mode.

    If you found the entry described above, please post what you found.

    If there was no entry please post what Windows OS you are running and if you can remember what you were fixing, please post that.
