Am using XP Pro SP2
A few days back had installed Longhorn Transformation Pack.
After a long hassle have been able to uninstall it. There is no trace of it on my system.
However everytime i start my computer i get a screen as under :
__________________________________________________
C:\Windows\System32\CMD.EXE
____________________________________________________
Lomghorn Transformation Pack - This will rebuild you windows to apply new Longhorn icons.
Press any key to continue

Please help me to get rid if this message which originates fro C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe.

Can i delete the cmd.exe file in System32 ?
Regards
Nariman

CMD is the file associated with the command prompt. So you shouldn't delete it. Is it the Vista Transformation Pack you've mentioned?
