I found the problem with the help from my computer geek friend. There is a
program called windupdate.exe not winupdate.exe that has been put into my
computer by something. Go to Program Files\WindUpdate folder and delete it.
Go to your registry and delete anything with the name WindUpdate and your all
set to go. I found that that program was deleting my Autoexec.nt file
everytime I booted. Now all is well!
Good Luck!
