You can't attach images in this forum, so you did exactly the right
thing.
That box indicates something is looking for the desktop properties, just
as 
though you had right-clicked the desktop.
Since it doesn't appear in Safe Mode, it's got to be in start up
somewhere.
Look for an entry in your start up folder, or in Control Panel/Admin
Tools/System Config/Start up.

I have Windows 7 32bit. This error message just showed up about one 
month ago. I have been running Win7 for a month and a half. When I start

the computer and the computer finishes booting, the desktop has a small 
error window open with a message in the box saying: The properties for 
this item are not available. I don't know where to start to find the 
problem. In the upper left corner of the box it does say Desktop. I 
tried booting to safe mode and the error message is not there. I have a 
picture of the box captured by using snipping tool. I can't get any 
information on the box by right or left clicking it. What should I try 
next to to stop this box from appearing? If I click OK the box goes away

and as far as I can tell everything is fine. Also, I did a sfc /scannow 
and the report was all files accounted for. I have also been reviewing 
windows logs but so far I have not found anything.
As you can tell I don't know how to submit or upload a picture to this 
forum. So I placed the pictures on my skydrive. Please click on the link

to view the error message. Thank you for looking into this.
