When I start my computer it loads as usual but when it finally gets to my desktop a message comes up from the command prompt:

c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe

ERROR: Access denied

no programs are started to make this prompt appear, is it dangerous for my computer?

Thanks in advance for any help.

There's also a small utility program called AutoRuns that will list what programs run during bootup or login. It searches the startup folder and registry keys.
