Every time I turn on my computer, notepad opens a file in which it says: [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787 I'm not sure why it does this. The only thing I have done that would cause, and it didn't start until right after, is that I had to make a few changes in my registry to get Corsair Link to identify my H100i cpu cooler. Any input would be appreciated. |

This looks like a desktop.ini file. There is supposed to be one inside the Startup folder but it should be marked as "system file". Maybe somehow it lost its attributes, so when you log in Windows tries to execute it by opening in Notepad. You need to restore the system attribute. |

This is a famous old Windows issue, and isn't caused by Classic Shell. I think this should work to fix it: 1. Make sure that hidden and system files are set to show from Folder Options in Control Panel. 2. Open these folders: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\ 3. Delete any desktop.ini files from here. Or as Ivo said, restore the attribute of desktop.ini to hidden+system using an elevated (administrator) command prompt: attrib "%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini" +h +s attrib "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini" +h +s |
