There are two folder namely desktop.ini, desktop.ini automatically appeared in the desktop. I scan my computer using Microsoft security Analysis but these folders are not moved or deleted from the desktop. Is this harmful for the computer ? It happened in Windows 2007, HP Minillaptop. solve the problem immediately

They should not be showing. See this... http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/unwanted-desktopini-icons-appear-on-desktop/7ebb744c-98ad-4530-825d-b4e90eefba6b

It looks like a custom view for a music folder. Try right-clicking on the folder in Windows Explorer, then select the 3rd tab, "Customize", and change your folder type.

You may delete this file with no harm but it will return since its a information file. .ini file are files that Microsoft place in all your folders. The INI file format is a de facto standard for configuration files.

Assuming that you have created a shard folder before, "Sharing Files and Folders" should be enabled on your machine.

Go to your Control Panel -> Folder Options adn click the "View" tab. Scroll all the way down and disable "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)".
Now the "Sharing and Security" option should appear again if you right-click a folder.

Microsoft has a write-up on this for general information. See here.

In regards to the possible Trojan - I would need the exact file name to find more information. What you can do from your end is to run an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner.

Note: You should use Internet Explorer to run this scan, and you must disable your Anti Virus program during the scan.
Click the Accept button.
You will be prompted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
* The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
* Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
* Now click on Scan Settings
* In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
o Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
Extended (if available otherwise Standard)
o Scan Options:
Scan Archives
Scan Mail Bases
* Click OK
* Now under select a target to scan:
Select My Computer
* This will program will start and scan your system.
* The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
* Once the scan is complete it will display the results if your system has been infected.
o Now click on the View scan report link:
* Click the Save report as button
* Under Save as type, choose Text file (*.txt)
* Save the file to your desktop as Kaspersky.txt
* Copy and paste that information in your next post if you like.

If you have any more questions, or file sharing is still not working, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

PC angel isn't installed as such it uses the desktop.ini to load its software.

desktop.ini is used to by windows to customise the view of individal folders in windows.

if you know how go to command prompt
type in;
attrib -h -r -s -a c:\folder\*.* /d /s
( replace c:\folder with the drive/folder of the protected folder )
next type in
del c:\folder\desktop.ini
( Again replace c:\folder with the drive/folder of the protected folder)

Bye bye protection for that folder

Replace the shortcuts with the same shortcut, only to the same application.
Desktop.ini is an important file.

it's nor virus no anti-virus will not delete it
u can remove it frm un-locker
download it from www.filehippo.com

Right click the recycle bin in 'my computer' or on the desktop and goto the properties. You may then configure the recycle bin for each drive or turn it off altogether. Once it is turned off for a particular drive you may remove the recycler folder (ignore the warning) it will not re-appear again when you delete files.
