Vista Home Premium SP2.
It happened a few times, ( not all the time ) when I tried to create a
shortcut on my desktop, an icon would show up also. It's called "
desktop.ini ".
In the past I just deleted it. But I am wondering what it is, and was it
wrong that I had deleted it ? Thank you.

Vista creates desktop.ini in many folders, it is folder explorer view
configuration file. I supose you have set option in explorer to display
hidden files. Vista is not clever enough not to display it on desktop.
 
Ok, thank you.

You can "show hidden files", and still see them.
You need to "hide protected operating system files", in order to not see
them.
