There is a small start up bug in the latest build of Windows 7 which has leaked to the wild i.e. Windows 7 Build 7057. Each time Windows 7 starts, a text file called desktop.ini opens up. This can be easily fixed by the following methods:

Method 1:

1) Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

2) Delete desktop.ini

3) Navigate to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

4) Delete desktop.ini if it’s there

Method 2:

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 menu and type the following into the Start Search box: 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 menu again and type this into the Start search box: 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) Done. Reboot and the desktop.ini will not appear again.
