Try uninstalling/reinstalling WindowBlinds, this should resolve your issue. (You will not lose your skins by doing so.)

Edit: Are you by any chance running the shareware version of WindowBlinds? Running on startup is a feature available only for the registered version.

I'm not familiar with spycatcher, so I'm curious. Does it quarantine? IF so did it quarantine anything related to WB? Did you put back any quarantines prior to uninstalling?

Did you try reverting back to a restore point prior to installing spycatcher?

You can go to "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" folder > right-click inside folder > New > Shortcut > navigate to, and select the 'wbload.exe' file.

Not sure if this will help in your case, but that is the way to create the shortcut.
