Background:

1. Installed Win XP Pro

2. Installed and configured Zone Alarm fire wall

3. Installed and configured AntiVirus package

4. Downloaded/Installed all Win XP patches

5. Created user "AllQuackedUp" and assigned it Administrator rights.

6. Disabled the built-in Administrator account.

7. After #3, I have problem that I have never before encountered:

Problem:

Desktop.ini [Notepad] opens at boot and stays open after booting until
user closes it.



Contents of desktop.ini =

[.ShellClassInfo]

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



TIA,

Steve
 
Thanks, Doug.

The solution worked only after I deleted all incidences of Desktop.ini ~ 80
(eighty) copies (including shortcuts).

When you logon to Windows XP, Notepad opens one or more documents containing
'[.ShellClassInfo]' and
'LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787'? 29-May-03
