I don't do Windoze, but this looks to me like a typo in some init file,
perhaps a missing semicolon? I'd grep the usual suspects (on Linux, this
would be /etc/*, and all the config/init files and directories under
$HOME (.profile, .bashrc, .emacs, etc etc), but I have no idea what
these would be on Windoze - you might even have to search the *shudder*
registry) for c:\dropbox\org.
