DeskTop bloc de notas - Por favor answer in english please if your primary language is spanish?

Question

My platform is Windows XP Pro. (Spain).

I was unable to obtain a french platform and settled for a spanish platform as I know a little spanish. (Would prefer that the person who can help me reply in english).

The past four months since I installed the new platform I have always received my critical updates. Microsoft validates my platform an I no problems.

This past friday Microsoft installed a complete WGA program and took an inventory of my entire system. (My platform passed the WGA).

Now everytime I reboot my pc I get this window in spainsh as shown below. I have removed from start, "desktop" and from file search. No matter what I do this pop-up continues to appear on reboot. Causes no problems with pc. Just annoying.

How can I stop this pop-up?. And what may be the cause?. (Seems to be only information as shown below.


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

Thanks to all in advance
