    An icon has appeared on my desktop with the following: [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769 IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183. Can some explain why this has happened and how to safely removed the desktop icon. TIA. Ellen

    [.ShellClassInfo] files on desktop

    Is it safe to remove files that appeared on my Desktop after I upgraded to Windows 10:

    [.ShellClassInfo]

    LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21799

    and

    [.ShellClassInfo]

    LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769

    IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183

    Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Desktop Icons

    Hello,

    Some configuration on your desktop settings must have been changed. To address your concern, follow the steps below:

    • Right-click anywhere on your desktop > Click View.
    • Make sure there's a check mark beside Show desktop icons.
    • Check if the desktop icons are now appearing.

    Let us know the status of the issue.
