A way to get rid of Desktop.ini from Desktop folder in win11.
I tried to disable it on msconfig & i even tried this: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu yes But it still returns at startup ... .
That won't work because desktop.ini is a hidden system file that controls your desktop's view settings (like icons), not a boot file.
To remove it (temporarily):
Open File Explorer > View > Show > Check "File name extensions" and "Hidden items".
Go to your Desktop folder. You should now see desktop.ini.
Select it and press Delete.
Warning: Windows will often recreate this file. It's a core system file, so it's best to just leave it hidden and ignore it.
