Answer : explorer error

Strangely I don't have any kbd*.dll files, but a handful of KBD*.KBD ones like KBDUK.KBD, and KBDUS.KBD in my C:\windows\system folder (win98 se).

Here's a list of files extracted from my CD using "kbd*.*" in the command:

"No matching files".

Windows XP and 2000, however, use .dll files rather than .kbd files.

It looks like the Canadian Multilingual .dll for Windows XP/2000 is being looked for yours is a typographic error (kbdfc.dll).

In Windows XP, this would be installed to C:\windows\system32 from the "i386"  folder on your WinXP CD.

Have you perhaps installed some software recently that is designed for Windows XP?

If not, then chances are that this could be a random file name generated by a virus to resemble a windows system file.
