Sudden Appearance of desktop.ini files on my Desktop

Have just downloaded some holiday pics from a memory stick that my missus was using to store them on and Norton picked up a security threat. Having dealt with it an restarted my comp, two desktop.ini files have appeared on my Desktop.

Anyone shed any light onwhy these files have suddenly appearedand is it okay just to delete them?

Yeah tried that but it says they don't. Might just delete them then see what happens.

Cool, cheers for that. By the looks of it (and for some reason) my settings had changed to show all hidden files, so I've changed it back and the files are gone.

Cheers for the advice.
