[Bullnettles]

Has installed Windows7 construction in 7057. Each time the computer is started / restarted the Desktop.ini will open up in notepad.
Anybody got a solution?

I've installed it and first thing, I fixed the Desktop.ini issue.

Here's How:

1. In Folder Options -> View, select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" and un-check "Hide protected operating system files" so that you can see the hidden Desktop.ini files.
   
   
2. Open the start ORB and at the search type: shell:startup and press Enter. The start menu startup folder will open, where you will find a Desktop.ini file. Delete it.
   
   
3. Open the start ORB and at the search type: shell:common startup and press Enter. The "all users" start menu startup folder will open, where you will find a Desktop.ini file. Delete it too.
   
   
4. Done. Reboot and the Desktop.ini will not appear again.
