What's the purpose of desktop.ini?
It has no effect on my desktop whether it's there or deleted.

Hello rboppy, :)
Here's some more information about desktop.ini files to help.
How to Customize Folders with Desktop.ini (Windows)
What Are These desktop.ini Files I Keep Seeing?
Thanks Brink, although neither link came close to describing the desktop.ini that is on my desktop:
Code:[.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769 IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183
If you ever find out, let me know. It always appears on the desktop after windows updates get installed.
You could try this, some people say it works, say some it does not:
reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer" /v "UseDesktopIniCache" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "UseDesktopIniCache" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "UseDesktopIniCache" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
That's correct Edwin, always have, but like TairikuOkami pointed out every update brings back the desktop.ini, don't think that happened with W7. What other files are considered "Super Hidden".
