| | Desktop and Hide protected OS Files I know how to set folder options. I like seeing all the files on my system, when I am browsing folders. I know that I have purposely unchecked (via Folder Options, View) "Hide protected operating system files". But, do two "desktop.ini" files have to be shown on the desktop? Suggestion: Give me an option, via the Folder Options or on the Start Menu (customize), that will allow me to say "do not display desktop.ini files on the desktop".
