The most likely reason that this began happening to you is that you changed the file
properties of explorer to "Show hidden files" and to not "Hide protected system files".
Desktop.ini is a file that contains settings for how your files and folders are
seen within explorer (eg. thumbnails vs. folder view). Since you probably have not
set all folders to be the same, a desktop.ini file is placed in any folder that is
not normal... like in your startup directory. The attrib command is simply re-hiding
the desktop.ini files (which they were before changing the folder view settings),
and allowing your folders to still have customized views because the system is the
only thing that can see the file.
