this is not a good move, as HJT will create log files and backup files there. in a temp directory, you risk accidentally losing these critical files, which you may need to access at a later date, if you need to UNdo/correct some things.
so as a first step, move your copy of HJT to a directory of its own, such as c:\hjt, which is NEITHER a TEMP, NOR a DESKTOP directory.

trevor,
you're running hjt from a TEMPorary directory:

after you move it, re-run HJT, and post the new log in the special HJT forum: http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board?board.id=si_hijack
