Errors when loading LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll

Sometimes the computer behaves very strangely. Users often complain that when the system is booted, a notepad file appears on the monitor with the error LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll. The file is nowhere to be found when using the search. There is no it and autorun. Such an error does not happen often, but still it is solved, like other errors in Windows - DLLRegisterServer , dbdata.dll .

Causes of Error with shell32.dll

The LocalizedResourceName error appears in some cases, for example, when the “Desktop.ini” file is in folders by the following links on your computer:

• system disk: \ Document and Settings \ All Users \ Start Menu;
• system disk: \ Document and Settings \ All Users \ Start Menu \ Programs;
• system disk: \ Document and Settings \ All Users \ Start Menu \ Programs \ Start Up.

And also if there is a line with an error in the “Desktop.ini” file itself, then the error in Windows will be repeated.

Shell32.dll file itself is a type of dynamic library file. The .dll files provide uninterrupted access to various functions. Print.dll - provides printing in Windows after one of the programs accesses it. After referring to this file, it is loaded into the computer’s RAM and provides the functions assigned to it for all programs, for example, the same print through Word and the browser.
