This happens if the "Hidden" attribute for the desktop.ini is removed. Follow these steps to resolve the problem:
Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. Type the following command and press ENTER:
attrib +s +h "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini"
And then run:
attrib +s +h "%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini"
(Watch for line wrap)

Using Vista Home Premium, I get a Notepad window opening on startup with the
following message:
"[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787''
Can anyone tell me what this means and how to get rid of it?
