This morning I notice I have a new shortcut on my desktop - "desktop.ini"
It is grayed out, yet I can open it and see the minimal contents, namely:
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183
I don't know how this "ghost" file got there, why it's there, or even whether it's a "rogue" file.
Does anybody have any insight on what would cause that file to suddenly appear with its washed-out appearance?
UPDATE
I just realized - that file on the desktop is not a shortcut after all - it is the actual file. So where does this file normally belong? I'll move it back to there and get it to stop cluttering up my desktop.
