Invalid syntax error on startup

Question

_{Wednesday, January 25, 2017 11:06 AM}

Hello,

Almost at every startup a file opens up, windows asks me to choose a program with which I'd like to open it, I choose 'notepad', and  that's what written in this file:

Invalid number of parameters
Invalid number of parameters
Invalid number of parameters
Invalid number of parameters
ERROR: Invalid syntax. Default option is not allowed more than '2' time(s).
Type "SETX /?" for usage.
Invalid number of parameters

Invalid number of parameters
Invalid number of parameters

Invalid number of parameters
ERROR: Invalid syntax. Default option is not allowed more than '2' time(s).
Type "SETX /?" for usage.

Can anyone please explain what is it about and if it's harmful?

Thanks, Vadim.

You could use AutoRuns to test what is getting started.
Seems to be a script with errors.

And when you are in a domain this might be a login script which tries to set an environment variable.

The file is located at C:\Users\ and you will say a file with your name mine was "Matthew" Delete it and restart.

I had experienced the same error. I Applied your solution with success. My file was name "Bureau", because I use Windows configured as French.

Thank you.
