When we log in to any of the accounts on our computer for the first time
after turning the computer on, the following error message pops up
immediately, with an "OK" button to clear it:
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program'. Make sure you typed the name correctly,
and then try again. To search for af ile, click the Start button, and then
click Search."
Does anyone know what this means, or how we can get rid of it?

Do you have a C:\Program shortcut located in the startup section of the
start menu > programs? Do you have said shortcut located in the startup or
run items of your registry? That's usually the cause.
