koe.exe
Grzegorz
Yesterday I managed to instal XP Professional on my computer and from the
begginning I need to deal with some troubles. When I start my computer,
Windows is showing me error message, that could not find the 'koe.exe' file
which should have been placed in Documents and settings (according to this
message). Does anyone know what it is and how can I fix it?
I appreciate any support.
Thank you.

So did you clean install winxp or upgrade?

There should be NO EXE file executing from; C:\Documents and Settings
The chances of a malware infection is high.
Download, install, update and then execute, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

That behavior is very typical of a virus which was deleted by your virus
checker
Run msconfig then see if there is a reference to koe.exe
in the startup tab
uncheck it
reboot
(then check the box in the msconfig dialog that will display)
If you are real lucky that's all you need to do
but I'd run a full virus scan
to be on the safe side

On the other hand, lots of application installers like to leave archival
copies of themselves in there, sometimes in "Local Settings", sometimes
in "Application Data", sometimes elsewhere. I find everything from
Adobe's "Flash" to Nero7 to Sun's JRE.
So, finding an EXE in there isn't too surprising.

Well, the message the OP related simply said that some process couldn't
"find" the executable.
But,if an installer has left its guts somewhere under "Documents and
Settings" and something is triggering a re-install or repair
installation, running an EXE from there wouldn't be too surprising
either.

after your sig separator, which my news client quite properly deleted]

The fact that you're a top poster makes it clear that you don't care
about much.
Good luck.

Are you also "David B.", or just his very, very good friend?
I see that you use "Microsoft Outlook Express", which is generally
considered less than adequate, to be polite, in the context of news
clients.
