Did you mean Windows Desktop Search.lnk.disabled ??

Windows Desktop Search.lnk.disabled is some sort of malware. You have
some crap that you do not want.

UPDATE your antivirus software and run a full system scan.

UPDATE whatever anti-spyware applications that you have and run a full
system scan with each one.

You might want to start in Safe Mode to run your antivirus and
anti-spyware software.

Running a full system antivirus scan or anti-spyware scan in Safe Mode can
be a good idea. Some viruses and other malware like to conceal themselves
in areas Windows protects while using them. Safe mode will prevent those
applications access and therefore unprotect the viruses or other malware
allowing for easier removal.

I removed/uninstalled a program from my computer. Now when I start up I
get the message: File Windows Desktop Search.lnk disabled. Where do I
find this file to do a repair or replace this .lnk file?
thanks
