How to get rid of this "Desktop" folder?

Hi there!
I have a problem that bugs me since … forever! In my home directory there is a directory "Desktop" which i do not need, because i'm using wmii and do not have a need of files on the desktop.
I delete this folder over and over again but there must be a program or process that re-creates the folder after a while (there is no difference if i delete the folder in PCManFM or at the terminal). I'm on the verge of creating a cronjob to delete this folder that will be executed every minute!
This is crazy! Something creates a stupid folder for that i do not have ANY need and instead of respecting my decision and leave it as it it after i delete this friggin folder it re-creates it!
It's like in this one movie i know. There is a thing that appears over and over again whatever the protagonist tries …
Is there a solution to delete this folder permanently?
TIA,
Dirk

This came up in the Things that make you go "grr" thread, the link suggested was this one http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_fo … &forumId=1
I don't know whether it works or not, it seems it made a lot of people happy though

    Um... that does not contain "duplicates".

    "Portal Content Area Builder" how to get rid of this page heading?
    Hi All
    I have created a Single page Website..??? by using folders.
    when a user click on any link that call a folder but not a page and that folder is displayed with the layout specified in "Content Area Page" however there is no such option available to change the Heading <Title>Page title</Title> for browsers so for every folder called it displays a Oracle defined Content area page title.

    This problem is fixed in Release 2. There is no supported workaround in 3.0.

  • Since upgrading to 10.7.2 to use iCloud, i keep getting a message with ubd wants to use the login keychain, anyone for help to how to get rid of this...

    since upgrading to 10.7.2 to use iCloud, i keep getting a window message with ubd wants to use the login keychain, i put the right password but it keeps coming back, anyone for help to how to get rid of this...

    This is what I did and it seems to have worked so far. While that little annoying box is up you need to open the Keychain access by:
    going to applications -> open utilities folder -> click to open Keychain Access
    Now here is the stupid part, you have to continue to press the cancel button on the "ubd wants to use login keychain" box for the kaychain window to open. Once you have keychain access open go to:
    the top of your monitor and select "Keychain Access" right next to the little apple logo -> click preferences in the options panel-> the preference box will open now -> click "Reset My Default Keychain" -> another box will pop up that says "Please enter your login password. This password will be used to create your new keychain" (of course this is assuming that you use a login password to access your mac) -> enter your login password and a box shows up that says "created a new empty 'Login' keychain"
    After that you should be good to go. This new keychain you created with your login password overides the old keychain. The old keychain is still available in the Keychain's folder but is not being used and therefor can be deleted. All you have to do now is press ok, and your good. If the "ubd wants to use login keychain" box is still there after you reset your keychains just hit cancel and it should be gone for good or you can enter your login password.
    Is this a fixall that will work forever? I have no idea but doing this has allowed me to access my network at work and all the servers I need to get to.
    Oh and one more thing. You may need to press cancel on the ubd box throughout this entire process, I just gon in the habit of clicking a button hitting cancel on the ubd box and the new window would pop up.
    I hope this helps you! Sorry if it's long, I was trying to be as detailed as possible to make it  easier. Let me know how it goes.

  • TS3899 Getting a "background picture of angry birds" in back of my e mail messages...any ideas how to get rid of this?  Thanks for your help

    All of a sudden I am getting a background picture of angry birds in my e mail.  I can view the mail but it is annoying.
    I have cleard the history an still it appears.   Any ideas on how to get rid of this garbage?  Thanks for your help.

    Bettina:
    Do you see the color in Designer, or only Acrobat. If it's only in Acrobat, try changing the menu item Forms >> Highlight Fields. This toggles entry field highlights on and off.
    Mark
    You can shut off or change the highlight with this
    app.runtimeHighlightColor = color.red;
    if (app.runtimeHighlight)
    app.runtimeHighlight = false;

    Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. Not in France, because my bank account number is Dutch (it says), not in the Nteherlands because I should buy in the Dutch app stoe.

    my ipad sometimes gets hanged while in apps . but when it gets hanged , its comes to homescreen and stops responding
    how to get rid of this problem

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    As it was doing so I noticed that the software was trying to alter some settings in the registry.
    Now whenever I am in Mozilla I get a pop up saying my PC has 7 window errors and can run faster. I cannot see how to get rid of this.

    Any ideas?

    Such a pop-up is likely caused by malware installed on your computer.
    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

    Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
    Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.
