Guest Mortimer Schnerd, RN Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I'm visiting my father and naturally I've been enlisted to straighten out his machine. This one has me stumped. Every time he reboots, a text file called desktop.ini opens with Notepad. Here's the content of the file: [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787 Does anybody have a clue how to stop this behavior? The file closes easily enough but I don't want to see it at all. Ideas? -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN Mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com
