boot.vbs is not a Windows file that I am aware of … .vbs files are Visual Basic Scripting files and might have been loaded by some application you have installed or might be part of a Virus / Trojan hacking attempt … (the other possibility is that it’s part of a customised School (or Company) Domain log-in process ..)

Plainly Windows has been ‘instructed’ to RUN this file at start-up.. either by the Registry or by something in Begin / Programs / Startup …. (check that first)

If it’s not something in the Startup folder, you will have to check the Registry = I recommend using HijackThis to see what is being RUN…

You might want to think about using WinPatrol or similar to prevent future stuff being installed to RUN without your knowledge ..

These days a lot of software tries to ‘run’ at boot-up … this grants them to ‘preload’ themselves for quicker launching .. the downside being that everything that preloads at start-up adds to the already unacceptable begin up delays .. especially if the ‘uninstaller’ ‘forgets’ to remove all the Registry entries and your Computer is trying to RUN stuff that doesn’t exist anymore ..

Other software installs ‘phone home’ components that randomly use your World wide web connection (and can lockup your Computer if the web is down) in order to ‘check for updates’ (or, in the case of Dell Printers, inform Dell of each page you print so Dell can send you junk eMails of the ‘your Printer is nearly out of Ink please click here to be ripped off (pay excessive prices for our ink)’ type…
