I have a TV tuner card and whenever I load the program some files ( a binary and an ini ) are created on my desktop . What can I do to get rid of them and why are they created at hte desktop and in the program's folder ? When I delete them , the next time I load the TV application , they are recreated.

Swat,<br><br>Not sure why they are created, but it looks as though they are needed for this software to run. What are you running and what TV card do you have.<br><br>It may be worth looking in the program folder for this software, probably held in c:\program files\???????, and looking for a .ini or even a .ini file, this may point to c:\windows\desktop to create files, you could try changing these, but if you do backup the orginals first.<br><br>More info would be helpful .<br><br>Ie Tv Card type<br> Software used to view Tv.<br> Are you just viewing or recording the TV<br> Desktop OS Windows 95/98 release version.<br><br>Or as a last ditch effort the manual may help

I use the TV just for watching TV programs and the funniest is that I just found out that the same files ,which are created at the desktop, exist on the application directory !
ok, what .ini files are in the program directory, somewhere is these there will prob be a entry telling the s/w to create these files on your desktop, if you change the directory from c:\windows\desktop to c:\temp or c:\wnidows\temp. It probably will not create the files on your desktop.<br><br>Failing that post a copy of the .ini files here.
