An anomylous file on my desktopWe recently migrated from NT4 to SBS 2003. We have W2K SP4 workstations.
After the upgrade I noticed I had a folder on the desktop that has no name, can't be cut, copied or deleted: it just sits there. What could it be? Carl Gross wrote:

set under the namespace key in your registry. If you could open regedit and export the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace and post the exported text. Another thing to try is open a DOS prompt and do a dir command - see what it says Anyway I have to run but please let me know what you find. nick Show quoteHide quote "Carl Gross" wrote: > We recently migrated from NT4 to SBS 2003.

But the Desktop namespace in the registry is for special folders though not
for unnamed files If it was Outlook then the filename would be a '~' (tilde) Crouchie1998 BA (HONS) MCP MCSE Crouchie-
You're right insofar as the namespace not being specifically for folders with no name, but the thing is regular folders all behave the same way (with the exception of system folders containing desktop.ini files that alter the way the folder behaves - like the temporary internet files folder or history folder). Since this mysterious folder has a unique right click contect menu I have to assume it either has it's own CLSID or it contains a desktop.ini file that's non-standard (by non-standard I mean there are desktop.ini files everywhere but that doesn't mean the folder will behave differently - it's what's inside the desktop.ini that counts). If the folder has it's own CLSID then it stands to reason it's been put on the desktop programatically and possibly via the use of the namespace key, which can be used to add any onject to the desktop and other places. Of course Crouchie, I could be completely and totally wrong in my interpretation of the problem - we both know how hard it is to troubleshoot issues when you can't sit down at the box - so anything I ever suggest is said with the caveat that I might be misunderstanding the situation and hence the problem (and there's always times I offer advice that makes me look like an idiot...oh well =) ) Anyway, the first place I'd check would be the namespace key.

If so do you
have an Outlook icon? If you don't have one of those then that's what's creating the folder so delete the appropriate clsid (long 32 bit number thats a sub key of Namespace). Let me know if you need any help with this.

If you don't see a icon on your desktop labeled " Palm one Quick Install "
then open regedit and go to this key (please understand if you do see this icon then the following steps will not help you): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace] Click on the plus sign next to the key to expand it and then delete this subkey: {6357BCB6-B06E-11D6-82EF-00C04FA03755} To delete the subkey right click on it (it will have a folder icon next to it and be in the left pane of the window) and choose delete - then click yes to confirm deleting it and its subkeys. Close regedit and right click your desktop, then click refresh. The folder Icon should be gone. Please let me know how this works for you. If this doesn't fix your problem or doesn't apply because the icon is present then please go to start > run and type cmd then press OK. From the command line type these two commands (type one and press enter, then type the second and press enter): dir "%userprofile%\desktop" > c:\directory.txt dir /X "%userprofile%\desktop" >> c:\directory.txt Notice that the second command has >> and the first command has > - this isn't a typo. open the file C:\directory.txt and paste it's contents in your next post.
