OS: Vista 32 Home Premium

I think it may be related to some remnants of Limewire (which I have uninstalled already).
I try to delete a folder named "Music" off of my desktop and it is deleted, but some kind of file is commanding a Music file to be re-created on my desktop..so a Music file will appear on my desktop again.

Thanks for any help or suggestions. :huh:

I uninstalled through Control Panel and deleted the Limewire folder as described in that link you posted.

The folder itself is called Music and it's empty when it's recreated. Back when I had Limewire, the downloaded content was saved there.
