  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.

• 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.

  Hello

  I found a link that doesn't address the root cause of your problem, but describes a method to hide the files with an extension of certain... The link describes a .nfo extension, but I think it would work for a .ini as well...

  Instead of going into the folder as shown, go to the root of the drive itself...

  http://www.SevenForums.com/customization/81717-hide-all-certain-file-type-folder-tree.html

  I just did a little test, and you need to open a. CMD invite admin... IN the drive or folder you want to change... For example, open C:\ and click on FILE... The option to open a. CMD Prompt will be on the list...

• desktop.ini files

  files desktop.ini appeared on my desktop and after deleting the desktop.ini files it is files/folders that im getting APPLICATION DATA NOT ACCESSIBLE. ACCESS DENIED error message. I also get records that have a blue arrow on it, but these records are not on my computer before. This all started after my sister, transfer photos to my laptop. pls hel

  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.

• What is ehtumbs_vista.db and desktop.ini and how and is allowed to delete this item

  What is ehthumbs_vista.db and desktop.ini and is it OK to delete and if so how to remove

  Thank you

  Hello, zoolady

  ehthumbs_vista. DB, that's where the Media Center records the thumbnails for media.
  Desktop.ini stores the settings for this particular file.

  It's good to remove them both, but they will be re-created automatically. They must be hidden by default, so you can choose to simply do not show the files hidden instead.

  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.

  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.

• After update on Windpws 8.1, applications and desktop windows files are gone

  After using windows 8 for some time and just become familiar with my lap top has started promoting update me windows 8.1 I did. He got to halfway through the update failed.  A pop up message that my computer will reboot when it has finally done I had to create a new user as egone account all the tverything that was on my computer is now disappeared from windows desktop is Islands and apps are word disappeared from windows of the program excel outlook ECt are all deleted.  I first tried to contact microsoft last night 9/12 14 after a long time on hold I got to a telephone switchboard finally after an hour to be spent on I got to a person called Sheena p who accessed my computer remotely to fix the problem after that several attempts to try to untangle the issues it has had problems as it were quite well refused to listen to what I explained.

  He decides so after hour or more that this too is a problem for him and I need help of level 2 and it would organize a call back for today 10/12/14.  Soon after the end of the call, I received another call from microsoft, explaining that the Office of the United Kingdom farm at 7 and I would like to be contacted at 18:00.  After leaving work earlier to be home to this call and in the meantime and until it became obvious that no one was going to get in touch.

  So I contacted once again microsoft got passed from one person to another, so that all operators attempted to pass the problem on to another Department, eventually after about 45 minutes, it is call that I am someone in the phillapines that even once, pretty much couldn't or wouldn't understand the problem told me it could not be anything else other than a virus no matter how much times I explained the problem that she seemed unable to depart from it on the screen guests as she just constantly repeated the same vein times she said microsoft is paying and that she would not do anything until I paid $ 99, I think that it is and violates since I had already spent enough money buy microsoft software that has now been removed and a microsoft program.  Then she just transferred back me to the very first options menu so I wasn't on hold or in any that just left to start all over again. I finished the call to seek an alternative.

  can someone sign affect me? I have a laptop restored to factory settings, no files, folders, pictures or software because I have updated windows 8 from their guest.

  Thanks in advance

  It would be impossible for the .old and the user folder to disappear, unless someone went to PC settings and clicked on the "Reset PC" option.  Other than that, the only way for those missing is to be booted from a CD or USB and do a new installation instead of the update to the App Store.

  Regardless of how, however, at this stage there is no much I can suggest.  Install your favourite again and get your files from OneDrive or backup everything you use.

• Problems with restart, turn off, finder app and desktop missing files

  I put my macbook (Pro 15 inch Retina 13 end) on 'sleep' last weekend and didn't use it for a few days. Came home and found that my office files have disappeared and the "finder" icon does not work and will not restart. Tried to download El Capilan to see if that helped - but that did not work, or the other. It seems to be downloaded, but accuse mac to OS X Yosemite than current version. When I try to download the OS X El Capitan again, he gets only to restart - which does not happen. In addition, the mac does not have to reboot or turn off the buttons. Any suggestions this is appreciated please

• 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.

• 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.
