Welcome.:emotion-1:
I'm not sure what you are asking. If you are using Windows 7, normally desktop.ini shows up on the desktop.
Enabling the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) setting in Folder Options hides the two Desktop.ini files.. To access the Folder Options, open Windows Explorer, click Organize, click Folder and Search Options and select the View tab.

I'm sorry for not explaining very good. I'm new to this... my compiuter is redirecting, some of my folders are being moved around and they to not sharing. sometimes my internet connection goes off. I used the trouble shooting for media player and it said my library is corrupt. Can you help me?

Are you using Peer-to-Peer file sharing?
In order for the volunteer analysts to see what might be causing this, I would suggest posting on the Malware Removal Forum.

That is probably how you got infected, and is why you will be asked to remove it before someone helps you on the other forum.

Just post on the MR forum. If the damage isn't too bad, and they can get some diagnostic tools to run, the helper there will advise on what to do.

HELLO BUGBATTER, PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIZES IN ADVANCE FOR MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND IMPATIENCE IN ADVANCE. I POSTED THE HIJACKTHIS LOG ON MR FORUM AS YOU ASKED BUT NOBODY HAS RESPONDED. IS IT BECAUSE I'VE USED P2P WEBSITES, BECAUSE, OR THAT MY COMPUTER IS TOO FAR GONE, OR JUST MY LACK OF PATIENCE.

I'm sure someone will pick up your log soon. Sometimes it takes 24-48 hours. All are volunteers who are in different time zones. Malware removal websites are swamped with people needing help, but trained,qualified helpers are limited. Be patient. :emotion-1:
