Well I don't have SYSWININIT.EXE on my WinME so its not a default Windows app.

If you do a Google for SYSWININIT.EXE there are quite few topics on this file.

If Windows won't startup at all then startup in Safe Mode. Keep the Ctrl key pressed 
as your computer is starting and select 3. Safe Mode.

Once started  and do a search for this file. Delete every 
reference to it from the registry. If you don't have this file on your drive and 
its not a default Windows exe then thats the only way around it.

You haven't said how long you've had this problem? If it only the last few days then 
you could use a boot disk and go to C;\Windows\Command and type Scanreg /restore 
and choose a date when Windows last started up ok.

Now this is a pain with WinME you can't choose Command Prompt Only from the boot 
menu to do a system restore you have to use a boot disk.

Hey there, This problem more simple when you fix them with registry cleaner, last time I spend hours to recover missing files, after my friend recommend to me install Registry Mechanic, this fix quickly in less minute, all my missing files back, and my system run like new so I Highly recommend take look Registry Mechanic or other Tools. Best, John.

A slight, but important, misunderstanding has arisen.

The line "C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYSWININIT.EXE" should actually read "C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS WININIT.EXE", and the error message is thus in fact reporting the absence of *two* separate files, not one, namely: IFSHLP.SYS and WININIT.EXE

These two missing files can be replaced by extracting a copy of each from the compressed .CAB backup files in the folder C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS
