-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, I also have the problem that the notepad pops up (with desktop.ini opened), everytime I logon.

Holger, The desktop.ini file needs to be removed from the startup folder. Browse your default user profile to find the startup folder and delete the desktop.ini or you could try a login script that deletes the file and then users will only have to see it once. The MS KB should have a fix for the desktop.ini file problem. They also suggest you check for and delete a few more desktop.ini files in different places.

I think the real "problem" is the following: - windows saves the settings of the desktop and folder view in this file which is normally hidden, so the desktop.ini is more or less always there - it just comes up (via autostart e.g.) or in the quickstart- panel if you configure windows to display all system and hidden files...
