Desktop.ini is a system and hide file.

Here the solution:

attrib -s -h "x:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop\desktop.ini"
del "x:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop\desktop.ini"

Be careful when wanting to delete every desktop.ini.

Sometimes the file is needed.

E.g. in my CDShortcut.script, I create a desktop.ini which defines the icon of the 'CD' folder.

[.ShellClassInfo]

 IconFile=%Systemdrive%\....\CDShortcut.exe

 IconIndex=0

DESKTOP.INI is a file used by Windows to store information about how to present the folder it is in. That is why DESKTOP.INI "magically" comes back - a new DESKTOP.INI has been made to hold folder presentation info.

It's mostly harmless (although I've heard to can hide files via DESKTOP.INI)

Here's more info:
