    I like to see all hidden files and I too sometimes have desktop.ini files showing on the desktop. I just delete then with no obvious problems.

    Hi,

    If you have "Hidden" files checked to show these desktop.ini files should NOT become visible on the desktop.
    It's only when you've also unchecked : View > Options > View . "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) " that these files will show on the desktop.

    Why would anyone want that ?

    All these system files are hidden for good reason.

    Cheers, *Wink
