I have no idea what program or possibly online service added that. One of the corresponding pictures contained a sign in the store window that said 'on sale now', the INI file also contain those words. The files may match the name of a JPEG file in the same directory. I have also noticed some very strangely named files ending in. Lock seems to be associated with either backup or update of some programs and I have found it in the skins folder even though it's not a skin. PicasA and PMB (picture motion browser) appear to create two of those files in any directory where there is a picture containing a face. While you can create a desktop INI on the Windows 8 machine, and rain meter will recognize it and work, you cannot sync that file with Microsoft's OneDrive.Īfter searching a few of my other machines here, I have a feeling it's not a good idea to use these words either:

No amount of changing the options in the file manager on Windows 8 trying to get it to show hidden or system files would make it work. If I manually added desktop.ini on the Windows 8 machine it would work, BUT, the next time I synced OneDrive, the file would disappear. No matter how much I tried and re-synced the Windows 8 machine the desktop.INI file would not show up on the Windows 8 machine. After a fair amount of hunting I discovered that desktop INI shows up on the web version of OneDrive, and in the Windows 7 machines but not on the Windows 8.

A few minutes later the desired skin functioned on my other Windows 7 machine but not on the Windows 8 machine. Buried three directory levels down, I had created a desktop.INI file on one of my Windows 7 machines. Two of them are Windows 7 and one is Windows 8.1. I have pointed the rain meter settings to a skins folder in my OneDrive, and have been editing them on 3 Different computers. It turns out there might be some names for your INI files that won't work in Windows.
