Startup can't find missing file
I am running Windows XP Home Edition. After startup, an error message appears saying that "Windows can't find "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Folders\ibm00001.exe". Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again..." I deleted the .exe file from disk when it was identified by Spyware as a threat. However, the system continues to look for this file upon startup. I don't see any relevant calls in the "Startup list". Where is this call listed so I can delete it from the startup?
Thanks
This program (download trial) is supposed to remove it.

According to this:
The following registry entry is created to run ibm00001.exe on startup:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Shell
The following registry entry may be created to run ibm00001.exe on startup:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Shell
explorer.exe ""
An entry may be added to the file SYSTEM.INI in the "boot" section with a key name of "shell" to attempt to run ibm00001.exe on startup.
