  Hi Merlman,

  It looks like your system may still have infected files that are not recognized by the scanning software. If system restore has failed to solve this problem, the next step would be to try to repair all files in Windows by performing a SFC/scannow: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

  Remember that your system may have been corrupted too, and you may also need to perform a repair installation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917964 (it indicates if a later version of Internet Explorer is installed and can apply to your system).

• Satellite U400 - I confused speed up my system - removed desktop.ini icon

  Some time ago I moved (or deleted) a desktop.ini icon.
  This changed the way files/documents are stored on my computer.

  I get a lot of shortcuts that I did not do and seem to not be connected to anything.
  There are a lot of ntuser.ini and NTUSER. Icons DAT in different folders.

  The files are duplicated, and appear in paces I put them.
  No document is missing, but it takes time to find them; the logic of the production system seems to be lost.

  How to restore the original system? I don't remember when I made this mistake, and I wonder if I did a system restore or something like that could happen to all the software that I subsequently towards the down loaded.

  I'm not very expert in computers, as you may have guessed.

  I have Satellite U400 and Vista.

  Hello

  Have you tried using Windows Vista system restore? You can set the operating system goes back to an earlier era. Therefore, you must go into the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer, and then click System Restore.

  In the worst cases, you reinstall the full operating system. You can use the function of HARD drive recovery or the Toshiba Recovery disk you burning?

  Good luck!

• 2 icons desktop.ini - many in danger of files?

  In the past, I have deleted all Babylon, delta and search of similar files that I could find, and I thought that my pc was ok.

  Yesterday, I found a 'Babylon uninstal' file in a folder temporary, I deleted it and later I got 2 desktop.ini semi of transparent icons on the desktop and a quick message saying that my boot has been changed.

  (2) in a temporary folder 3 files, with different data Postbuild.exe of creation, the first data before I bought the PC (new)
  (3) I got 8 Chrome process in the Task Manager (actually when 29.01547.76 version automatically installs the older version 29.01547.66 is not was uninstalled)

  You see probably the desktop.ini file that stores the office properties in Windows because you have turned on see the hidden files and folders.

  In the earlier version of Windows (XP?), it was possible to hide the .ini desktop in this case, but Vista and later to show them.

• 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?

  Every time I start my system, the Lync appears, a modem exe shortcut. files also appears, how can I stop this?

  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.

• 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.

• Hide the Desktop.ini from the 'view' position, while leaving the ticked the checkbox show all system files?

  This worked fine with XP, but doesn't seem to work in Vista or W7.  I need the abililty to see all systems files and folders when you use the Explorer; However, I don't want to see the files on my desktop system.  After the 'bureau' is a special "display".  Is she can combine and display information from several sources (for example. C:\Users\Public\Desktop as well as my profile).  In addition, the desktop contains icons that are not in the profile of a user (for example. Network, computer, etc.), but they also present.  My point is that Microsoft has made a point to differentiate the Office Explorer view but incoherent.  As said above this worked fine with XP (and Windows 2000), but deserted in Vista and W7.  Y at - it another way to display all the files and folders system without displaying on the desktop?
  Concerning

  You have a bug because desktop.ini is not displayed, even if you check Show hidden files.

  On computer and network - icons you can hide using a customization: right-click on the desktop > personalize > change desktop icons > uncheck these icons

  ...

  I was wrong, showing desktop.ini is not a bug... You just bought too many options of folder and Search Options. I wonder how many times you need to see the protected file system? Because you unchecked to hide the protected operating system files . Another option: driver, Show hidden files and folder will show you everything you need. If you are not convinced, just go in a place where you expect that Hide protected system files will hide something important to you and to see these files will really disappear after choosing that Hide protected operating system files.

• Desktop.ini is always displayed in the contents of a CD/DVD

  The problem is described in this article:

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/2010/01/21/desktop-ini-file-in-Windows-7-CDDVD-RW-drive-ready-to-be-written-to-the-disc/

  Windows Vista has such behavior. The only solution seems to be to hide hidden files. But I don't want to do that, because I want to see the files for users appdata.

  A way to disable this behavior, without hiding the files?

  Hello

  Who exactly what problem do you have? Because as much as I know this file is not burning to CD/DVD.
  And FYI the desktop.ini is pertinent information as what the folder icon should display for example a videos in your profile the desktop.ini file tells windows to use a specific icon instead of the default folder icon.

  If you don't want to see these files in Explorer go Union-> folder and search options. Select the view tab and make sure that: do not show hidden files, folders or drives is selected. Also make sure that: Hide protected operating system files (recommended) is also checked.

  In terms of size, they are less than 1 KB (so very small). I just checked today and it was 504 bytes. It won't make a difference to how you can burn on CD/DVD.

• 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.
