Vista - Desktop ini problem

Hi there, hope you guys can help me out with desktop ini problem. Desktop ini folders are appearing in all files and when try to open it gives me access denied error and sometimes the notepad is blank. Tried deleting it but it keeps coming back. Is there any software that I could use to cleanup desktop ini icons away?

Hi Adrian,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

This is caused by your settings in 'Folder Options'. These files are normally hidden, and they contain information about how to display the contents of a particular folder. These files are harmless, and if you delete them, Vista will recreate them automatically. In some cases, whilst deleting them won't do any harm, this will cause the folder to revert back to displaying its contents in the default manner for the content of the folder. To hide these files again, the easiest way is to click on the start orb and type 'Folder Options' in to the search box and press enter. Click 'View' and then 'Restore Defaults'. Click 'OK' to close the dialogue box.

In addition to Dwarf's post:

These are considered hidden protected operating system files. You can just set these files to hide again to not see them anymore. Step 5 in Option One of this tutorial will show you how to if needed.
