    For the last couple of days when I turn my computer on a message box comes up with the following message.
    C:\Windows\system32\icals.exe
    Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item.

    By clicking on the cross on the message box a few times I can get rid of it, but I would like to cure the problem. Any ideas please?

    Check that message - it should be icacls exe.

    I know how to find it but I still have the problem. I have tried changing permissions in windows explorer and rebooting but the problem persists. Could I have done something to cause this?

    The file may be corrupted - I suggest you run System File Checker.

    Just done a system restore to 4 days ago and everything seems fine. I will have a look to see what I might have done.
    Thanks for your replies.
