When I open my PC, two files with same name “desktop.ini” are opened in my face. How can I prevent these two files from opening or appearing?
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787
All thanks for help!
Look for Text files or a text editor in your Startup folder and delete it.
These files open because they are in the Startup folder. To prevent this from opening
1) Open My Computer
2) Search for "Startup" without the quotes. You will see a folder named Startup.
3) Open that and locate those two desktop.ini files.
4) Delete them. Now you won't see those files ever again.
perhaps you unchecked the box show hidden files and Hide protected operating system files in windows explorer

try the microsoft fixit, download and run it
Run a startup configuration utiltity, such as MSConfig.exe or CCleaner and look in the list of startup items for desktop.ini. Normally, there should be no instances of these files in the startup routine, so you can safely disable any instances you find.
