How to remove Notepad file which loads every time I boot: [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787

Hi,

This happens if the Hidden attribute for the desktop.ini file is somehow removed. Follow these steps to resolve the problem:

Open an elevated Command Prompt window. To do so, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

Type the following commands below and press ENTER after typing each command.

(You may copy the text below and paste it in the Command Prompt window.)

attrib +s +h "%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini"

And then run the following command:

attrib +s +h "%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini"

Type EXIT and then press enter to close the Command Prompt window.

Hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you require further help.
