File with name "desktop" appearing on desktop
I have two files (the appear to be configuration files) appearing on my desktop with the name - “desktop”
File 1:
[LocalizedFileNames]Windows Explorer.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22067
File2:
[.ShellClassInfo]LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21799
When I try to move these files to another folder or the recycle bin, I get the following message:
Are you sure you want to remove this file?
If you move this file Windows…might not work correctly….
Type: Configuration settings
Is it safe for me to remove these files from the desktop?
I am using a Dell531, with Vista Home.No Events found!

I apologize to everyone, I think I found the solution.
It seems to me that desktop.ini is a "protected operating system file". So if in tools>folder options you have the box "hide protected operating system files" un-checked, the only way to hide desktop.ini is to check that box.
