You mean, when you run a scan from the Simple User Interface, the final report shows error 42006 for that file?

Well, the error 42006 means "file is offline", which is rather strange... (unless somebody set the "offline" attribute to this file). Can you check the content of the file? (can you open it in Notepad, for example)?

Are you sure this file is not hidden?
Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder options > Show... (2nd tab) > Show hidden and system files
Search...

If it's really not there, I'd try the RootKit Revealer... I believe winstart.bat shouldn't normally be present in WinXP system.
