Happening a lot or just certain folder/file ? Either way, you may want to Windows restore to date before you started receiving the error, as it is most likey a system registry error.
 



has been since forever

what do I look for in registry please?
 

I did not suggest you look in the Registry.
I suggested you do a Windows system restore, but seeing as how you have had this problem "forever", that will do you no good.
Your other alternative is to boot from your Windows CD and repair-install the OS.
