It's not quite clear where or what these desktop folders are, but is anything stopping you from deleting these folders if you don't want them?

Hello Help000, and welcome to Vista Forums.

  • This may be able to help you fix this:
  • Backup anything that you do not want to lose in the Desktop folders. (Ex: Shortcuts on your desktop)
  • Use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to restore the default C:\Users\(user-name)\Desktop folder location.
