I have no idea what this is/ means.. When ever I boot up my computer this line of code always pops up in notepad. Just wondering if anyone know's what it means or how to get rid of it.

Code:
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787
 
It looks like some sort of registry command from a program or something placed in your Startup folder.

Start > Run > MSCONFIG > Startup > Look for anything fish or odd like "vvjkli.exe" or something and disable it.

:P

the vptray was from some old antivirus that i used and un-installed... this thing started after i un-installed it... it was symantic anti virus.
 
I googled up "shell32.dll,-21787".

* The Desktop.ini file contains the following lines:

thanks but thats how to solve it if your running xp.. I have w7. Any idea to what the documents and settings folder was replaced by in w7?

*EDIT*
