Might be some help below or maybe a system restore could help?

oh and also, i've disabled system restore.

Just done a search for desktop.ini using Agent Ransack and it found 211 files all over the place.

Is there anyway you could use Recuva to get back the file you deleted?

I did have Vista on my laptop, but I reverted back to WinXP, otherwise I would've sent you the desktop.ini file.
