When I start up my computer I get this

Sometimes it wants me to name it programfiles3 or 5 or 2 or whatever, but this is the jist of it. Does anyone know what can be causing this?

Thanks,

My guess is that you have a file on the root of your C drive named "Program". I'd rename it and see if that solved your problem.

This didn't happen until recently and I wonder if anyone can tell me anything about it. I'm running
Win 2000 Pro upgraded from Win NT Workstation on a Dell PC. Whenever anyone logs on now (startup is
complete) I get an error window titled
"File Name Warning". There's a yellow triangle at the left with an exclamation point and this text:
There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:'Program" which could cause certain
applications to not function correctly. Renaming it to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem.
Would you like to rename it now? There's a line below this text with a checkbox "Don't perform this
check at startup" and two command boxes: Rename and Ignore. The thing is, there's no file at C:\
named Program and there's no folder except the old standby, Program Files. Any ideas anyone?

TIA,
Jim Jelke

Check your "Startup" dir or your "Run" keys for some path that needs "" quotes around it.
