  1. Desktop.ini Question Again


    I understand that the Desktop.ini file is used by Windows, but I have had problems with my windows computers for years and I seem to have way too many of these for all of to be needed by Windows. Currently on my C:\ drive I have 382 . There are hundreds of them on my other partitions also. Some of them start with a capital D and some with a small d . When i hide system files and do not show hidden files i still have 180 showing. Also when i did a search i found 2 copies of each listing in the same directory I have 2 of these they are an exact copy even the folder name and location such as.....


    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\Desktop.ini


    [.ShellClassInfo]
    LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21788

    [LocalizedFileNames]
    computer.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-9216
    Control Panel.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12712
    Run.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12710
    File Explorer.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22067
    Command Prompt.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22022
    Administrative Tools.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21762


    Here is one I have 2 copies of that has a small d in desktop.ini


    C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-s..l32-kf-programfiles_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.18362.1_none_e7f8ef22af7d95a9\desktop.ini


    [.ShellClassInfo]

    LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21781



    Is there any way to tell if there are created by windows or are something else.
