It would then have the small box with a similar Access is Denied message as the above but if you closed the error box and tried to save as it would open only the default folder for notepad (windows-system32) with no title of the object it was trying to open originally. I also had a similar problem when I upgraded to Windows 10 but my notepad would open to untitled showing no specific file. Doing this will display all the files available in the folder and delete the desktop.ini file or any other notepad files that start on Windows startup.ĭid you manage to solve this problem on your windows, tell us below in comments.On the Save As dialog box select “All Files (*.*)” option from the save as type drop-down menu.

Now go back to the file(s) that open on windows start-up, Click on Notepad File menu and select “Save As…” option this will option the location of the this file.

Click the OK button to save the settings.

Once you open the Folder Options window click the View tab, first Select the “Show hidden files, folders and drives” option and secondly uncheck the “Hide Protected operating system files (Recommended)” option.

Windows 7: Click the Organize menu on File Explorer and on XP open “My Computer” and use the Tools menu. Windows 8: Open File Explorer > View Tab > click “Options button on the toolbar”. Windows 10 : Open File Explorer > File tab > “Change folder and search options”.

First you need to show hidden files in Windows File Explorer,.

So, fast and easy solution to get rid from these start up files is to open the location of the file that open on windows start-up and remove them. Method that I am going to suggest you will work on Windows 8.x, 7, Vista, and XP. Following suggested method I tried to open the startup folder on Windows 8 but unable to open it and getting this error “Location is not available”, not accessible and access is denied. I found few suggestions on the internet but it was not working on Windows 8.
