7057 Startup Bug - Desktop.ini Opens in Notepad on Every Boot.
This is an odd bug, mostly due to the fact that some instances of desktop.ini are visible and not set to system and hidden.
Fortunately the fix for this is quite easy:
1. Under Folder Options -> View , select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" and un-check "Hide protected operating system files" so that you can see the hidden desktop.ini files.
2. Open the start orb and at the search type: shell:startup and press Enter. The start menu startup folder will open, where you will find a desktop.ini file. Delete it.
3. Open the start orb and at the search type: shell:common startup and press Enter. The "all users" start menu startup folder will open, where you will find a desktop.ini file. Delete it too.
4. Reboot and all should be fixed.
