I found a lot of files unwanted 'desktop.ini' in windows 7 family basic anyone can help me in this matter.

You can just leave them alone.  They tell Windows how to display records.

You can open them in Notepad if you're curious & want to have a look inside of them.

If you don't show hidden or system files, you won't even notice them.

  • Disable the creation of files desktop.ini in Windows 8

    Hi all

    I want to know if this is a way to disable the creation of files desktop.ini, at least in the desktop system folder.

    I knew that under XP there was a DWORD key which should be created to avoid creating all the desktop.ini files in the computer.

    I don't want the desktop.ini file features (personalization of icon, remembering the last display in each folder options, etc.)

    So I don't want to hide the desktop.ini files. I want to remove them and avoid Windows 8 create again and again.

    If Microsoft has disabled this customization which was present in the earlier version of Windows and now is not available (to disable the creation of files desktop.ini) just say. If there is some other registry key to be created or modified, please advise.

    Thank you

    Pablo.

    Hi Pablo.

    I would like to inform you that the Desktop.ini is a system file that addresses common issues, such as downloads, Documents, photos and music etc. When a change is made in these files, Desktop.ini is updated.

    Deleting the file will cause problems with the operating system and it is not recommended to delete the files. The default desktop.ini a hidden system file and read-only attributes assigned.

    If you want to stop these messages, go to the files through Search Options, click settings and you will see the Folder Options, click on it and the view tab and scroll down until you see "Hide protected operating system files (recommended) and put a checkmark in the box."

    Hope that answers your query. You can write back to us for other queries/problems related to windows and we will be happy to help you further.

  • 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.

  • I have a lot of files with the name "EULA" in the C drive.

    Original title: a lot of files in C:\?

    Hello. I was watching my C drive today and I noticed that a lot of files in C:\. I want to know is what can delete and it will spoil my PC? I am running a Dell Optiplex 755 with Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. Here is a screenshot of the C drive. Can I remove eula.1028 - vcredist? I know is not to touch the files. I also have another computer with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - Bit, which has the same question. It will damage anything to remove these files? I tried to run CCleaner and it did nothing for these files. They are just log files?

    Thank you!

    Mike

    Hi Mike,.

    Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community.

    You have a problem with a lot of unknown files on the C drive. It can be difficult when something that is important to you does not work as expected. It's pretty simple and we're here to help you solve the problem. We work as a team and get this sorted out.

    Please answer these questions-

    (1) have you installed the updates or programs recently?

    (2) did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    I would like more information about the issue.

    The end user license agreement files are left after you install a program that uses the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package or in Visual Studio.

    It is safe to delete these files.

    I would have you look at the article-

    Let us know if you have other questions about Windows in the future. We will be happy to help you. We at Microsoft, strive for excellence and provide our customers with the best support.

  • Desktop.ini corrupted

    Ran/scannow SF and in the report, it said my desktop.ini is corrupt and could not be repaired.  The best answer that I needed, I get a clean desktop.ini file from another computer, but I can't.  Any ideas how to solve this problem or where the web can I go and get own desktop.ini running Windows 7

    No I have never had a clear answer to my question. I have however discovered that they are many in my records of more than 80, desktop.ini scattered in my c: drive.  I also discovered that the KB3022345 update is probably the cause of the problem, the problem being the SFC/scannow showing corrupt files found where these files are not really corrupt.  See the link for more information about this update.

    http://www.InfoWorld.com/article/2922324/Microsoft-Windows/Windows-usage-Tracker-patch-KB-3022345-triggers-sys-file-corruption-which-SFC-is-unable-to-fix.html

    The very big problem after running SFC/scannow, it's that he has locked my user profile, I don't have one that I am the only user of this laptop, and so when I connect my desktop disappeared, came back to the default, and a message appears at the bottom left saying it can not load the user profile and system uses the user profile by default in place.  I had a * to find solution to this problem and how to fix it but finally was able to do so after trying all the other suggestions, the only one that worked made a few small changes in the registry that knowing how even a small mistake can really mess up your system, I followed the well written directions and everything is back to normal.

    Thanks for your help. Andrew
