I started to receive the following message after booting up and loging in to
my XP pc.:

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

The message pops up in notepad.

Does anyone know what is causing this?

Thanks

Hi

Notepad Starts With "[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\System32\Shell32.dll,-21787" When

Andy,

It seems that either

"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

(assuming Windows XP is installed on C: drive; replace also <username> with
the actual current user's profile folder),
or

"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

folder lost its read-only attribute. You can't set this attribute
in folder properties, but using either the third party
file manager like Total Commander, or command line:

Start -- Run... attrib +r "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
and
Start -- Run... attrib +r "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

(with the same notes about the drive and <username>).

Check out also, that Desktop.ini files in these folders
have Hidden and System attributes set.
