The root directory, Winnt, not \Winnt\System32? That is strange. See if this helps anyway:

Hi,
An "" entry in the windows registry causes this problem.Check HKEY-LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENT VERSION/RUN.If you find any entry with "" as value delete it.Check Run Once and Run OnceEx keys
also.This 'll solve your problem.
