regsvr32 is used to register/unregister dlls (sets reg values). If this
happens at logon, you might want to see if there are any logon scripts being
run, if there is something in the start->programs->startup menu, or if there
is something being run from the user's (or machine's if this happens with
any user) Run and RunOnce registry entries that could be calling regsvr32.
