Since I was positive that this file was a virus (I have had it sent to me
on several occasions but Norton flagged it each time), I searched my dual
boot system at work and could not find this file at all. NT4 & Win2k.
Then I did a quick search on cfgwiz32 and find that I am correct that it is
a virus - BUT the "real" file can also exist in the Windows directory. The
virus copies it, takes its place, and then is put in the startup. A couple
of links:

Since I've been fairly active on the Internet for about 8 years and at this
same email address for six years, I manage to receive just about every
virus out there from people I don't even know. I'm still getting SirCam
virus attachments a few times a week and the sexyfun one intermittently.
But only as attachments - I have never actually gotten a computer virus
because I never execute attachments if I don't know what they are.
