"desktop.ini" shows up under Notepad during startup.

[BudV]

I'm running a Dell I2500 under WinXP Home SP2.

My system has recently started a Notepad task with file "desktop.ini" during
startup. Today, it started two identical tasks like this. Any help on
this?

Take a look at this article.

Sorry, I forgot to show the contents of the file:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787

Did we just set a forum record?

The fix I needed was posted before I had a chance to modify my post with
more information.

Thank you!!
