I have a few gearlike laying over a white page sorta looking icons that say "desktop.ini " on my desktop here not even sure where they are from even.

They look sorta greyed outish vs colorful like most icons. They dont have the normal shortcut looking arrow in the corners, but again I have no idea how they got there or what they are for.

When I click them they say

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell 32.dll,-21769
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-183
[LocalizedFileNames]
Windows Media Player.lnk=@%SystemRoot%\system32\unregmp2.exe,-4

&


[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell 32.dll,-21799

Sorry if this is more of a general question vs vista, but I am new to vista and had never seen these types of things in the past and now I am seeing them in my vista premium pc here, so figured I would ask here what to do with them (delete, keep etc?) Are these supposed to be "hidden" vs visable (I do recall checking a box to show hidden files during some setup stuff), maybe i should uncheck that box?
