I'm getting the following shell message in my Notepad upon rebooting my computer: [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787 Does anyone know what this means and how I fix it? I've recently uninstalled some programs and wonder if I uninstalled something I shouldn't have. I haven't uninstalled anything that came with my new computer, just things I've added to it. My computer info is as follows...hope this helps. OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1.2600 Build 2600 OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Manufacturer Dell Computer Corporation System Model Dimension 8200 System Type X86-based PC Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 4 GenuineIntel ~2392 Mhz BIOS Version/Date Dell Computer Corporation A04, 3/18/2002 SMBIOS Version 2.3 Windows Directory C:\WINDOWS System Directory C:\WINDOWS\System32 Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume2 Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "5.1.2600.0 (xpclient.010817-1148)" Total Physical Memory 512.00 MB Available Physical Memory 296.02 MB Total Virtual Memory 1.72 GB Available Virtual Memory 1.34 GB Page File Space 1.22 GB Any help that anyone could give me would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks very much for your time.

sounds like a problem that can be fixed by altering the registry, also check what is loading at startup. good luck

Could mean several things. You might try a system restore. Start-programs-accessories-system tools- system restore.

doc! Thank you SO much! *HUGS* I went to the website you suggested and it did the trick. For some reason I had a funky Desktop entry in my Startup items. I just cleared the check mark next to it and *poof*, end of my problem. Although it described my problem exactly, it didn't explain how it happened. Anyway, thanks so much! Have a GREAT New Year!

Glad a little sunshine fell on you this last day of 2002, I myself aint quite as fortunate. Sick with sore throat and stopped up head. Your name caught my eye, My first love was a nancy and indeed is a special name to me. God bless you and may this year be filled with good tidings to you also.

God Bless and keep you as well, doc. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my problem despite your feeling so badly. All the best to you, and get well soon!
