All of a sudden, when I boot Vista, Notepad opens and displays the contents
of a desktop.ini file. (There about 38 copies of desktop.ini in Windows and
its subdirectories!) When I close Notepad, there is -- also new -- a
desktop.ini icon on the desktop.
I found a desktop.ini in the Startup folder -- which I assume is causing
Notepad to run. When I started to delete it, I got a warning that
desktop.ini was a system file and deleting it would cause bad things to
happen. So I chickened out.
I do NOT have Vista set to show hidden files and folders. Also, when I
checked the properties of desktop.ini in the Users/Public/Desktop folder, the
"hidden" attribute checkbox is greyed-out, not checked, and I cannot check it.
How can I clean this up?
