Text file opens on start up

[alice]

One of my PCs has started opening a text file after windows loads. It
opens Notepad and a file called desktop.ini, with the following
content-
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787

What is this and how can I stop it.

2 things you can do, go to your start up folder and check if there is such a
notepad file.
or check ur bootfile but thats a lil bit far fetched lol just check ur
startup folder...

Desktop.ini file opens in Notepad on Desktop

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