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.
