Dropbox puts a notepad file on the Desktop

Since re downloading dropbox to a windows 10 - dropbox puts a notepad message onto the desktop that says as below.

If it is deleted it then replaces itself.

How does one stop this from happening ?  Did not happen before.

 

Notepad message below:

[.ShellClassInfo]
IconResource=C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe,-3704

Setting up the apps
