Untidy important updates

Ok, installed the updates released last night. Restore point was set, 4
updates applied, rebooted. Now desktop has 2 desktop.ini files on it. Sure I
can just delete them, but it does seem a tad crappy for MS to release an
update set that leaves such basic junk behind. What gives?

Go to Computer | Tools | Folder Options | View

Put back in the checks to "Hide Protected Operating System Files" and "Do
Not Show Hidden Files And Folders"

Then Apply and OK your way out.

Thanks Richard, that explains it I guess, but I prefer to keep these types
of file visible, have just deleted them...
