If you are scared, put them into the recycle bin first or move them to another folder. When you have confirmed that nothing goes wrong, you can safely delete them permanently. -
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 -
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.

i agree. this is an unusual place to house windows files. most likely than not, Unidentified had accidentally click and drop these temporary/unnecessary files onto the desktop without him even realising it.Originally posted by eagle:I gather that TS's files are due to some DirectX check which should be useless since they are on the desktop. -

Problem here is too much unnecessary files will clutter up the desktop, which may or may not lead to further problems. This is Microsoft leh...Originally posted by TehJarVu:if not sure, leave it -

i have deleted files b4 and the computer crashed
that's why i will not allow that to happen to me again... -
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

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 ?
Windows 2000 and below... although Windows tries to protect them, but they failed in a lot of ways. You need to move those files manually back and not delete them. -
Awww.........
more and more confusing , nvm i open another folder to house it -
