Seems that I saw a post on this issue within the last couple of weeks.
In that case, it was caused by an entry in the Run key in the registry
where the path was not enclosed in double quotes.

You can look in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run but
if you don't see the offending entry there, you should download Autoruns
from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx which
will show you *all* of the items that start up. You'll have to look
through these carefully for bad paths.
