What is Desktop.ini File in Windows? How to get rid of it?

So many Windows users see this file in every folder they create. And yes, few of them think it a virus, few just consider an annoying file. So what is it actually??? What is this desktop.ini file ???

What is desktop.ini ?

This file is placed inside every folder created on your PC. Desktop.ini defines how the folder will be viewed, whether this folder is having a custom icon or will be viewed in what format etc.

Why does it appear so often?

It is basically set as hidden file, whenever you change the view option to view hidden files as well, you can see it in any folder. So don't worry it's not a Virus. You don't have to delete them. You can simply change your settings to hide hidden files. If you will delete it, Windows will again try to create it. Better leave it, it does not harm anything. When you delete it you will only loose the customizations that might have been done on that folder.

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities. Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around. When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted. It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten. For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
