Hi there!

I've had y'all help me before with malware issues a long time ago and I kept the tools on my computer.

So I was going to run a temp file cleanup and I accidentally started running the OTS before I realized
I meant to run the TFC. So I did a control alt delete to stop it from continuing since a simple X out didn't work.

Then I ran a TFC and when it rebooted, all of my temp files were suddenly showing on my desktop (as shown in attachment
screen shot).

How do I turn these off? I think I'm going to delete TFC because for some every time II run it, it deletes all of
my Google Chrome bookmarks even though I've saved them right beforehand.

Thanks!
Tiff

PS I think I just fixed it! I went to My COmputer, tools then view and chose do NOT show hidden files. They're gone but I hope that's okay how to do it.
