I gather that TS's files are due to some DirectX check which should be useless since they are on the desktop.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:No. They are Windows files.
Temporary files are in these folders:
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

the desktop was never meant to be a place for programs to reside in, and hence most of the important files for softwares will not be on the desktop.Originally posted by TehJarVu:i choose a cluttered desktop over computer crashing
i have deleted files b4 and the computer crashed
that's why i will not allow that to happen to me again...
If using XP and Vista, those files will be automatically replaced. Windows doesn't like you to fiddle with their files, so like a virus, they will automatically replicate. That's the only thing they learnt from virus creators and put into good use. You can delete them from desktop or wherever you drag them to.Originally posted by Unidentified:what if when i accidentally drag out that time my mode was set to see-able hidden file ?
