Removing desktop.ini when startup

1

I have laptop with Windows 8.1 operating system at home. Everytime I open my laptop a desktop.ini file always open up it contains the following text:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787

Even though I open the starup folder and seach for .ini or desktop nothing shows. Even I show hidden files, run cleaner using CCleaner and scan using 360 Total Security. Nothing happen. I hope that I've got possible solution with it. And know the possible cause of this problem.

2Use Sysinternals AutoRuns program to check what is launched at startup. – Vojtěch Dohnal – 2017-04-07T12:39:08.727

You have used AutoRuns to determine any malicious software that is starting cause this behavior isn't being done by legitimate software – Ramhound – 2017-04-08T02:10:26.420

If you act as if you're about to save the document then you'll see the correct path of the file then just browse to that same directory through an explorer window to delete the file.

Check the following path as the file may reside in there.

Possible File Path

In addition, run cmd.exe > msconfig and see what is loading at startup.
