I wonder what this is? My trojanremover found this line and commented it out. But in the start up, right before windows, i see this line among others in the short dos screen that appers.
how do i open the autoeexec.bat to make the changes, if i have too.

In Windows, open Windows Explorer, navigate in the left pane to the C:\ drive and click once on it. In the right pane, navigate down to autoexec.bat, it'll be below the list of folders. Now right click on autoexec.bat and choose Edit. It will open in Notepad. Simply click at the beginning of the line you want to delete and press the Del key until it is gone. Don't go too fast that you take out the next line below it. Close and say Yes to save it and you can reboot or wait until the next time you boot up.

What this line is intended to do is automatically empty the Temp folder each time the computer is started. And it is not commented out unless it starts with the letters rem and a space.
