I also have this problem. It came up out of nowhere as well. I'm glad that someone has a fix for it, but I don't like the fact that I don't know how it happened.


On other thing that no one has mentioned: in my case, not only were two desktop.ini files open after booting, but a shorcut was also placed on my quick launch bar for desktop.ini! Anyone have any idea what that's all about? The last time that happened I had some other problems with my system, so I just formatted and re-installed. That fixed it, of course. I didn't expect it to come up again, however, thinking it might have been from some virus activity. Any ideas?
