Okay, another dumb question.... new folder named local on my desktop?

[robertwnielsen]

Since my system restore last night, I have a single folder, named "local" on my desktop (all my desktop icons are organized in "fences" by the Stardock "Fences" utility). Question - how do I get rid of this folder? (Again, more of an annoyance than a real problem).

what does it say when you try to delete it

That is strange. Local folders are usually hidden. Check your desktop settings whether the "show hidden folders" is checked. If you want to get rid of it, right click on it > Properties > check "hiddden". If it is still there, then you have to uncheck the "hidden" in your desktop folder.

Oh, it lets me delete it....but it's like the proverbial bad penny....it just keeps reappearing...however, I unchecked the "show hidden files & folders" option, and it's gone now.

Okay....I unchecked the "show hidden folders" in my desktop settings...the "local" folder is now gone. Thanks! (Moderators, please close this thread).
