About a day ago my antivirus had detected a virus and cleaned it for me. To complete the job it said that i would need to reboot. I did the reboot and ever since i have had 2 desktop icons that seem to be system files named "Desktop.ini". I have had this before but i was on my XP and i have completely forgotten how to get rid of this. Can you guys help me out please? I would like to get rid of them (hide them) :)

Sounds like one of the hidden files. Try this solution from one of our excellent tutorials, written, by the forum's own Brink. Hope it works.

Look at the upside. Because of your mistake you learned about the Forum. Its a place
that you can come for information or to share yours with others.

It is the "Cheers" of computer forums.

Take care.
