Windows CMD.exe "The system cannot find the path specified."
Solution 1:
The problem is that some program has been set to autorun when you run cmd.exe. In my case it was ANSICON that was installed... and then I moved the file without properly uninstalling.
I found a solution in this blog post:

The short version is to find
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
and clear the value.
