How to hide two 'desktop.ini' files on my Desktop?

....except hiding Hidden+System files, of course.

Hi,

You can't, either the files are hidden or they aren't. You can't selectively
choose which system files show and which don't.

Umm... if you have your system set to show hidden and system files,
then you're kinda sorta like, ...stuck, know what I mean?

Maybe it's you more than it's Vista: perhaps you started out at 90%
nuts when you started using Vista.

I'm just sayin'...

I tried deleting my desktop.ini file. Vista didn't like that and

Go back to XP and move on. Or find a good psychologist to help you
with our OCD ;->
