ico File Extension

I am running Vista Home Premium.
When I right click an image on my desktop,
and select Preview, it displays my jpg photos plus
a dsc.ico icon and a keyboard.ico icon.

I don't know where these came from and they didn't
appear a few weeks ago. They are not listed under
Desktop in windows Explorer.

Do you know what they are? Can I delete them
during the preview?

Thanks, CB

Those are probably created automatically by Vista. Harmless. You can
delete them but they may come back.

But I didn't put them there.
They were not there a few weeks ago.

Any idea how they got here and if I can delete them?

Thanks, cb

As I said a week ago, go ahead and delete them.
If you prefer, move them to the recycle bin, then empty the bin after a
few days if no problems show up.
