[.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll,-21787

  • On starting my Windows XP machine Notepad always opens with the following line displayed: ‘[.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll,-21787′. I have no idea what this refers to let alone how to prevent it continually reappearing.

    This is a common problem in Windows XP which has been recognised by Microsoft. There is a suggested fix at the Microsoft Knowledge Base article support.microsoft.com/?kbid=330132 which should be able to help resolve your problem.

Hi there. If this is the first time you are posting a comment it will not appear immediately, but needs to be approved. This is necessary in order to combat comment spam. However, once you have submitted a comment (which is subsequently approved) you do not need to go through this process again - the site remembers who you are and auto-approves your comments. Nifty eh? Anyway, sorry about the inconvenience that this may cause for your first comment post.
