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.

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.
