• When I start my system, some notifications invites to the top of their own and I still see the desktop.ini file in my documents/files please what this means?

  I want to know the meaning of desktop.ini, I remove cause it's to show in most of my documents?

  Your thread was started successfully in the forum comments, so I moved it to the windows 'Repair and recovery' forum where is is more on the subject.  You must return to your topic and we tell which version of Windows you are using.

  Look in your startup folder to see if you see Lync and modem.exe shortcuts in this folder.  If so, remove them and you should no longer see these pop-ups when you connect.

  You can get rid of him, but it can return.  Desktop.ini is usually a file hidden, so you must have the display of hidden files and folders active if you do not see it.  Desktop.ini is a file that is present in many files and it is used by the process to "customize the folder.  It allows you to specify multiple behaviors to a folder and what desired icon displayed for a folder.  See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144102(v=vs.85).aspx for a more in-depth explanation of the desktop.ini file.  For certain folders such as My Documents, you should probably leave it alone.  It won't hurt anything especially if you do remove it, but the folder will then behave like any other folder, you can create.

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates. You may need to re - download the pictures, but the restoration of the system normally does not affect data files so it's probably not necessary.

  BTW, do not delete the desktop.ini file - this is important.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• What is a "desktop.ini" file and why it is part of every folder on my drive network hard?

  I have Windows vista (64-bit).  I have a WD HDD connected to a linksys E4200 wireless router. I created a music network hard disk, and every time I transfer or rip music to this reader, this "desktop.ini" file appear also in the context of each case.  Is this OK to delete this file?

  Desktop.ini is a hidden file, use of Windows operating systems to store folder settings. For example, you have created a music library so desktop.ini will contain the settings to indicate to the user interface to display the files in the folder differently from a normal folder. It will also contain parameters of the custom icons and names.

  You can delete the file if you wish; point negative only consequence will be the loss of these parameters/customization.

  If I see suddenly desktop.ini file on my desktop I should consider a virus? Removal of such a file system will be dangerous?

  Hello

  Do not delete anything because you can't get rid of the virus by deleting everything simply. You should run a virus scan. Make sure you have an antivirus premium so that you will be protected.

• An analysis has detected a Trojan horse in the C://WINDOWS/assembly/GAC/Desktop.ini file which can be access.

  Original title: C://Windows/Assembly/GAC/desktop.ini

  A scan has detected a Trojan horse in the C://WINDOWS/assembly/GAC/Desktop.ini file but I can't access this file because it is hidden.

  What is a VRU, what should I do?

  Hello

  1. You scan of bases of safety of Microsoft or any other security software installed on the computer?

  Enable the option Show hidden files and see if you can correctly view the contents of the files.

  I suggest you analyze your computer Microsoft Safety Scanner, it will help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  Hope this information is useful.

• desktop.ini files are showing even after masking the BONES protected files and they are everywhere

  Everything is almost described in the title

  Out of nowhere this "desktop.ini" file started appearing in almost all of the folders and delete them changes icons of folders where they exist in the settings and I found that the only way to hide them is to hide one in each folder specially after finding that they are not considered "BONES protected files" by the system or it was to hide just after masking "Protected OS files" but cache the one by one is not the best option to consider, although unlike the real "desktop.ini file" in the Users\User\Desktop folder that is considered protected operating system file and mask normally with the protected operating system files.

  Now, I want to just hide in a process that is not separately if possible please.

  For more details:

  -The content of the original "desktop.ini" file in the Users\User\Desktop folder is different from those non-hidden other those as follows:

  Contents of the Original file:

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  [. ShellClassInfo]
  LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
  IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  No hidden files content:

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  [. ShellClassInfo]
  IconResource = D:\Softwares\Icons\Metro Collection\Metro_Tiles_1\Metro ICO\System Icons\OTHERS\OTHERS\Journal.ico,0
  [ViewState]
  Mode =
  Vid =
  FolderType = generic

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Comment: The "IconResource' location changes depending on the icon of the folder where the file exists.

• Can not find the file desktop.ini

  I back up my files each week to an external hard drive. When I get asked if I want to copy the desktop.ini file in the HARD disk. Problem is that I can not find where this file is actually located and therefore can not delete it on the source computer. I would like to remove this file to avoid the annoying question whenever I try to save my computer.

  I changed the settings for source computer to view the files and hidden folders. After you perform a file search, the system shows a path to the c:\users\valued customer\appdata\roaming\norton utilities 14.
  This folder contains only a log of the entries, none of which can be edited or deleted.
  Not sure if I do something wrong by looking for the file "ini".
  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  You are welcome.

  To clarify, I'm not Andy.  I copied and included the link where he was enrolled in its resolution in order to give credit where it is due.

  If you don't use Norton, use the uninstall tool to remove all traces of the software.  If she has appeared in the past about the 30 day trial and you disabled, perhaps why the desktop.ini file is displayed.

• Why file desktop.ini opens in Notepad when I start?

  Whenever I have my laptop startup (which is running XP Professional), the desktop.ini file opens in a Notepad file. How can I prevent that to happen?

  Thank you!

  You don't need to change all attributes on these files.  All you have to do is show off system files in Solution Explorer.  Hidden files can always be on.  Then, they will not appear on the desktop, but they'll appear when you search using the file Explorer.  And everything still works.

• Windows Script Host - cannot find the file script 'C\Users\Shootea\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CDBurning\desktop.ini '.

  My laptop is upward lately since January 3, 2015 and a startup displays message - Windows Script Host cannot find script 'C:\Users\Shootea\AppData\Local\Microsoft\CDBurning\desktop.ini' file - I google a couple of information how do I get rid of it. I tried to open msconfig and then disabled under Startup in the Configuration of the system. 'Normal Start Up' is selected in the general tab slot. After I turn it off and restart my laptop the same pop-up message shows no more, but whenever I surf the net or you open an app, my phone now shuts down randomly. Is there something I did which could spoil? I appreciate any useful information to resolve this problem. Thanks a lot :) :) :)

  Hello

  As to what you were doing in msconfig to spoil anything, we don't know what you have disabled in msconfig.

  See if that helps you.

  Do a Safe Mode system restore to before the problem started.

• I have two files desktop.ini in my pictures folder - why they are in the pictures folder?

  I have two files in my photo folder, which are desktop.ini files. Why would they be in my photo folder and can I delete them?

  Desktop.ini files are system configuration files. When you remove them, they reappear with the default settings at one time. If you don't want to see them, learned to Tools, Folder Options, view and check the option hide the operating system (recommended) protected files .

• In fact to prevent 'desktop.ini' be queued to copy on DVD; reject the option "hide files".

  As has been frequently posted before on many sites around the internet, Windows 7 adds the file "desktop.ini" to the queue ready to burn to a CD or DVD. I want him to stop.

  I don't want to not read even the slightest thing about "hide system files", which is a frequently repeated failure to resolve, i.e. a hack stinky. In addition, I will absolutely not to hide all files system anyway.

  The file 'desktop.ini' listed on a data disc or video is clearly very bad behavior: some respondents stated that the "desktop.ini" file is not actually burned. I don't like: if it won't be burned, it should not appear in the queue, and its appearance is a mistake.

  Others have mentioned that they always just remove it. Although "duh", so do I. But I do not want to remember, especially when preparing backup discs, which contain often very many files, where I could not notice or don't forget to look for.

  So here's the deal: the answers I want are those who

  (1) involve waste clicks is more after completing a single time correction.

  (2) let me continue, in perpetutity contemplate all the files that are actually on my discs, hidden or not.

  (3) I don't see really each particular file that will be burned on ever CD and DVD that I prepare, and

  (4) the depricated "desktop.ini" file which is very well on all the folders on my hard drive is not present on my CD or DVD.
