| | Is it normal for two Desktop.ini files to be on the Desktop? I know these files are normally hidden, but I was just wondering if it is normal for 2 to be on the desktop at once. The first one has --\shell32.dll, -21799 only The second has --------\shell32.dll, 21769 ------\imageres.dll,-183 Thanks, Clark |

Hello Clark, When you unhide the protected operating system files, then this is normal. One is for the "C:\Users\(user name)\Desktop" folder, and the other is for the "C:\Users\Public\Desktop" folder. Hope this helps, Shawn  Quote: Originally Posted by Clark  I know these files are normally hidden, but I was just wondering if it is normal for 2 to be on the desktop at once.
