Hi Elmo, thanks alot for your reply and help.
I can't remember exactly which was the photo I was referring to, but I'm
positive I'm no longer using the same photo as Display Picture because this
problem was from around a year ago. Anyway, I had also tried to remove all
the possible photos in the MSN list of Display Pictures, and re-added them
from their latest locations. Is this what you were suggesting? It didn't
work.. But still, thanks alot!

Hi. I have this exact same problem. The "New Folder" is absolutely
empty without any hidden files. I scan my computer for viruses and
malware very very frequently. And also, I could not try what Blue did,
which was to rename the parent folder, because this "New Folder" keeps
re-appearing on my desktop..! If I remember correctly, the problem
started when, once, I downloaded photos from my camera to a newly
created "New Folder" on Desktop. I used one of the downloaded photo as
my MSN display picture, and after that I moved the photos elsewhere
and deleted the "New Folder". From then onwards, the "New Folder" will
keep re-appearing even after I deleted it many times. Exact same
problem as Blue. I have tried deleting the "New Folder" in Safe Mode
too, but it didn't work. I have also tried removing the photo from the
list of display pictures in MSN, and then re-adding the photos from
their current location, but the problem persists. Like Blue said, it
is really an annoying rather than a big problem. Any help or advice is
greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hi, I am back. I did "solved" the problem. But when I were to
rename the folder to "My Pictures", the "new folder" will
automatically re-appear. So right now, I do not have a folder by the
name of "My Pictures". Instead, I have called the folder "My
Picture" without the "s". However, when I click on the shortcut to
"my Pictures", it will naturally create a My Pictures folder with the
"new folder" inside that folder. Very weird. Do you thing this can
be solved? Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Have you tried moving the contents of the folder (without the offending
New Folder) to a newly created folder with a different name. Then
delete the original folder, restart, recreate the original folder if
you have to have it by the original name, and then move the contents
back?
Just a shot-in-the-dark.. Change the location of the MSN picture to
another folder, then try the delete. If MSN doesn't proptect it, it
might "stay gone".
I meant to change the MSN display picture to a picture located in
another folder. This might free up the Desktop folder since it will no
longer be referenced by the MSN program.
