I have a folder with no name on my Windows desktop. The name is literally empty:
I'd like to get rid of this. Oh, easy you say? Well here's where things get interesting. First, if I click on it and hit Delete, it just comes back within a day, like a zombie coming back from the dead.
Okay, great maybe I can hide it or something. Well, if I try to right click on it to modify the folder properties, it becomes clear this isn't actually a real file:
If I select "Create shortcut", nothing happens. If I double click on it to try to open it, nothing happens. What does the actual file system look like, you ask? Nothing:
Any ideas on how to kill this thing once and for all?
Update:
Contents of desktop.ini
:
[LocalizedFileNames]
migwiz.lnk=@%windir%\system32\migwiz\wet.dll,-588
Contents of Public folder desktop.ini
:
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21799
Another Update:
I can Cut the folder and paste it somewhere else on the desktop. If I paste the folder to some other folder on my disk, I get this helpful error:
dir /ah C:\Users\Public\Desktop
desktop.ini
hidden file (no normal files)desktop.ini
