This is the syslog output of cron which it does on all systems.
It tells you that the above command `/usr/bin/ls ...' has been run
by user dhorne.  I'm pretty sure the message has no "STOP" sign
in the event viewer message list but an "I" bubble, right?

Nothing to fix.  Unfortunately you can't get rid of the annoying
"The description for Event ID ..." blah, blah which is Windows
gabby way to tell you that it has no pointer to an error message
inside of some message file.
