I have set up a dual boot system with Vista and XP on separate partitions of
a single hard drive, with a second physical drive for shared folders. After
sucessfully installing some legacy programs under XP I rebooted into Vista.
When the computer booted Notepad opened up a text document displaying the
following:
[.ShellClassInfo]LocalizedResourceName=@%systemRoot%\System32\Shell32.dll,-21787".
I have found a KB article that addresses this in XP (KB/330132), instructing
me to remove the desktop.ini file that was causing this. I did check my XP
installation and found such files and removed them (oddly i did not
experience the problem in XP), but this did not solve the problem in Vista.
My question - will this solution work for Vista as well? Is this being
caused by an incorrect desktop.ini in the Vista partition?
Thanks very much!
