Blank files appearing on desktop

[CallmeGoose]

So I have these two blank files appearing on the desktop and every time I delete them they reappear shortly after.

Did a virus scan and nothing found..

Any ideas?

It could be you've unchecked 'Hide protected operating system files', they could be you desktop.ini files.

go to my computer, file explorer or whatever it's called these days.
select your desktop folder, then click file, 'change folder and search options', click on 'view' tab and then you'll see if this box is unchecked. click on restore defaults and see if that fixes it.

Nope. Not the desktop ini files.....

ok.
Can you right click on them and see their properties? they look like text files.

This is the only options right click gives me....

Fucking win X bug.

Ive got the two fuckers stuck in my start menu...

Tried all sorts to get rid. Mine have the Music and Documents icons tho when 'medium' tiles and blank when 'small'

Fucks sake.... How did Microsoft find out I was a cunt. I turned off all the spying stuff.

First thing I would suggest is to run chkdsk.

Then if that doesn't work, maybe an idea to open a CMD prompt as admin, then navigate to c:\users\NAME OF AFFECTED USER\desktop

Then dir to see if the problem files are listed with a filename.

If you get a filename, then run "type DODGY.FILENAME" and the contents should come up, if it's too much to read in one go, then "type DODGY.FILENAME > DODGY.txt" and it will save the contents to a text file.

This all assumes you want to see wtf is in those files.
