SYMPTOMSAfter upgrading to Windows 95/98 from Windows or Windows for Workgroups, the Desktop is cluttered with icons for files that Windows 95/98 did not install. Each file in the Windows\Desktop subdirectory has a corresponding icon on the Desktop. CAUSEThis problem occurs when you have a Windows-based (or Windows for Workgroups) application that used a Windows\Desktop directory. Any file placed in this directory appears as an icon on the Desktop. RESOLUTIONTo correct this problem, move the unnecessary files to another directory or delete the files if the third-party application is no longer needed. Moving the files could affect the performance or ability to run of the third-party application. Be sure not to delete any Windows 95/98 shortcuts you want to maintain on the Desktop. MORE INFORMATION
Desktop Set is an application that uses a Windows\Desktop directory.
Windows 95/98 creates an icon for each Desktop Set file because these
files remained in Windows\Desktop directory during the upgrade.
