Thank you so much Allan, I can now burn Cd's from my Itunes, can I now go ahead and hide the file extension?? I now have 2 icons on my desktop window i.e desktop.ini

Once more GOOD JOB and thank you

You can delete any desktop icons you like - that's all they are, icons. I don't know what you mean about hiding the file extension.

And you're very welcome.

following the instructions.......I was asked to go into Control Panel............


This step requires that your pc be set up to show extensions for known file types.  Which means if you look at any file in your c:\ drive it will show up as afs.sys not just afs.  If you don’t see the .sys or .exe or .doc, etc when looking at your files please see TGM post “Showing hidden files, folders and extensions” ( http://techgeekandmore.com/2009/10/24/software-showing-hidden-files-folders-and-extensions-in-windows-vista-and-windows-7/) and follow those steps 1st.

     – Once you know you can see the file extensions, open My computer –> C:\ –> Windows –> System32 –> Drivers.  In the drivers folder look for a file called afs.sys (There is also one called afd.sys, do not touch that one).  If you don’t see afs.sys, then close the Window and restart iTunes.

     – If you do see afs.sys, right click it and select rename, and then rename the file to afs.txt.  This file (from a company called Oak Technologies) will be there if you have iTunes or Norton Ghost, or Norton 360 (even if you have uninstalled the program).  Once you rename that file (notice how I’m saying rename NOT delete). Restart your computer.

Thank you once more

Oh, I see. Yes, you can hide them again if you like, but I don't know why you would.

Oh, I don't know !!!!!!!!!!! Anyways i restored it to "Default settings" least in my "GreenHorness" I delete something important.

Hi Allan,
   Please don't misunderstand.  I did actually mean thank you for sharing the information.  Part of my goal at TGM was to try and find solutions to make life easier for computer users.  I do not have any issues with my information being shared by others as you did.  Actually, I'm honored that you would think one of my solutions was worth sharing, as I am a big fan of your site as well.
