desktop.ini opening on logging into an account

I recently created a new user with Admin rights and then changed the setting
of another user from Admin to Standard User. Now when I log into an account
two instances of Notepad open up with the desktop.ini file showing the
following:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell 32.dll,-21787

What is causing this and can it be stopped?

Even though this was written for XP, it should work for Vista:

Notepad Starts With "[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\System32\Shell 32.dll,-21787" When You
Start Your Computer - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=330132

I ran into the same problem 2 weeks ago on a customers computer. Somehow he
had placed desktop.ini in his startup folder. I deleted it and everything is
fine.

__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3961 (20090325) __________

The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

desktop.ini was in the startup folder, have no idea how it got there!
Anyway, I've deleted it and hopefully this will solve the problem.

It will not run though, as long as it is hidden.
