I've found the same thing, the desktop.ini file is in the startup folder in the programs menu, so opens up into notepad when you log in for the first time. Is this the same for you?

I *think* this is put there by Windows whenever you browse the folder in Windows Explorer - it is used to hold the folder display settings specific to that folder. We solved it by adding the following global option to smb.conf :
hide files = /desktop.ini/Desktop.ini/
