Dropbox app - desktop.ini
Hi, I installed the Desktop app and it keeps creating a desktop.ini file on my desktop. Is there a way to prevent that?
- Hi AmyL; welcome to our Community!
Do you happen to have enabled the hidden files to be shown on your computer by any chance?
Can you send us a screenshot of how it looks like on your end so that we can have a visual too?
Thanks so much, Amy!

Thanks so much, Amy! We use a Dropbox folder tm import files into a system. The importer checks the older every minute for new files and if the files match import rules the files are imported, if not they are renamed to include _REJECTED at the end of the file's extension. Dropbox creates a desktop.ini file in the folder and the importer is constantly processing and rejecting the file. There is no way to tell the system to ignore files, has anyone ound a way to stop Dropbox from creating a dektop.ini file? I tried a registry edit but it does not work.
Thanks,
R. Padilla
