how to fix on Windows Start up Notepad Opens [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787

For last couple of days when I start my computer I was seeing a desktop.ini file in notepad that opens on Windows start up containing the following text in it  

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

Lets see how do I fix this to stop starting this notepad desktop.ini from windows 8 start up and this might also work on Windows 7, Windows XP if you are having same problem.

Method that I am going to suggest you will work on Windows 8 and above, 7, Vista, and XP. So fast and easy solution to get rid from these start up files is to open the location of the file that open on windows start-up and remove them.

First you need to show hidden files on windows 8 to do that open Windows File Explorer > View Tab > click Options button on the toolbar.

To open Folder Options on Windows 7, click the Organize menu on File Explorer and on XP open “My Computer” and use the Tools menu.

Once you open the Folder Options window click the View tab, first Select the “Show hidden files, folders and drives” option and secondly uncheck the “Hide Protected operating system files (Recommended)” option. Click the OK button to save the settings.

Now goto ->
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
Here you will get desktop.ini so, just delete this
now restart your PC or laptop !!!
