Desktop.ini

When I run and use MyColors, it creates a Desktop.ini file, on my desktop. Is there a way to get rid of that without getting MyColors to forget where it's theme information is?

The contents of the file is below:

[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21769
IconResource=C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\IconPackager\Quest\Quest Icon 18.ico,0
ConfirmFileOp=0

I am running Vista Home Premium SP1 on an Alienware m15x

One thing I have tried is going into my desktop folder within explorer and setting the folder options to turn "Show Hidden Files" off. That seems to work for the issue at hand, but I rather like to leave that option on so that I can see all the files on my computer. Is there another way around this?

Thanks for the info, ahead of time...

Whenever it shows up I just delete it.

Simple fix, just turn your hidden folders view back to off. Remember it's located under Tools>Folder Options->View-->Do Not show hidden files.
