What does the userinit key show under this key?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Should be just this:
C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe,
If there is anything appended after the comma, you may have a malware issue.
Have you run a spyware scan recently? The above is not the only location
that these bugs can come from, and many of them can interfere with the
windows shell.
