Exclamation Wordpad file show at startup

Hey there,

Can anyone tell me what the folowing means...

When someone logs onto my computer using a Limited acount they get a wordpad file show up every time with the following text..

Quote:
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787
It does Not show this when i log onto my administrators account,I mean this isnt realy a problem as my family using the limited acount just click on X on the wordpad anyway and it doesnt show up again until they log on next time.

And no this isnt spyware or anything.

Thanks

Hi AMD

Take a look at a suggested fix at Douglas Thrift's Computers Website.
http://computers.douglasthrift.net/winxpfaq/

I'll paste the fix that applies to your computer here (your's seems to be the Shared Documents folder that has the .ini file with the problem)
_______________________
"Note: If Notepad is opening a Desktop.ini file when you login, it is because a Desktop.ini file in your Startup folder has lost its Hidden and System attributes. You can use the following method, which is based on a newsgroup posting by Keith Miller (I have included his posting in Desktop_ini.zip), to fix this:

Save Desktop_ini.zip to a folder on your computer.
Go to the folder where you saved it and open it, then double click Desktop_ini.cmd.
Wait for it to complete.
That should fix your problem."
________________________

To find this quickly on the Douglas Thrift website, use that first link, then go to the section called "Special Folders", and look for the second of the two "Notes" in that section [you will see the exact same words as I pasted, with working links to the fix-it files].

See if that does the trick.
. . . Gary
