Birds Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) when I start up I have some extra files in my start menu. There is a desktop.ini in the programs and also the startup folder.does anyone know where these came from?

EchoNoise Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Folder customisation and sometimes system folders have them to show up a warning.You might want to hide these files by going into folder options via control panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 your picture is very scary!shouldn't these be hidden by default? Did I somehow show them using nLite? especially since it's on the start menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 @birds: which konfiguration did you use? did you use the driverpack from BTS? some more information would be handy.I used Xable's Light Windows XP Post-SP2 Update PackI noticed that normally there are desktop.ini files in the start menu and startup folder but on this machine they are not shown in the menu.
