stray Desktop.ini

[Guest Timothy Daniels]

Thanks, Alex. What I had was a shortcut called My Recent

Documents, which was a shortcut to the Recent folder which

is a hidden folder. But I was able to find the Recent folder and

then set the Desktop.ini folder inside it back to "hidden".

Your telling me that Desktop.ini was where it belonged was a

big help.
