Steve;
Empty your temp folder.

Start | Run | Type: cleanmgr | OK |
OK | Yes

Or

Start | Run | Type: %TEMP% | OK |
Find: tnotyoc | Delete

====================
To display hidden files and folders
[[Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Folder Options
On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and
folders.
 Notes
Hidden files and folders will appear dimmed to indicate they are not typical
items. Usually, hidden files are program or system files that should not be
deleted or changed. To display other hidden files, clear the Hide protected
operating system files (Recommended) check box.
If you know the name of a hidden file
or folder, you can search for it. <<====
If you want to see all file name
extensions, clear the Hide file extensions
for known file types check box.]] <<====
======================
Is it C:\WINDOWS\System32:tnotyoc.dll
Or
C:\WINDOWS\System32\tnotyoc.dll ??

Hope this helps.  Let us know.
