"The system cannot find the file specified" error in /etc/profile

- Subject: "The system cannot find the file specified" error in /etc/profile
On a newly built Windows XP system with no printers configured, the
registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Device
...does not exist. This causes /etc/profile to emit this message
every time it runs:
Error (2): The system cannot find the file specified.
One possible fix is appended.
