Dropbox puts a notepad file on the Desktop

[LCH14]

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=CProgram Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe,-3704

Also.   How do you email dropbox support

anyone have an email address for them

Hi there @LCH14; welcome to our Community!

This sounds rather weird; could you please send me a screenshot of where you're spotting this so I can have a visual too?

Did you happen to notice this in the past as well or it just came up when re-installing the desktop app on your computer? 

Any additional information you think might help our investigation is more than welcome!

Thanks.  This only started from downloading dropbox on a new laptop.  Has not happened before.

Each time I delete the desktop file   it regenerates.

Any ideas how to get rid of desktop notepad message on my notepad/laptop.

Where are the dropbox support people ?

Have you by any chance enabled hidden files to show on your computer @LCH14?

Many thanks.

Thats it !!   Hidden file turned on.

Cheers and well done

No worries, Lloyd.

I'm glad we found the culprit at the end  

See you around the Community and have a wonderful week ahead!

I am having this same issue, however when I check or uncheck the "Hidden" option under properties the icon stays on my desktop and I am not able to remove it. Any ideas?
