Hello, i am using a localised version of Windows 7 Ultimate...that means that "Program Files" folder appears like "Αρχεία Εφαρμογών" in my language..recently i installed a program in that folder and it changed the folder's name from "Αρχεία Εφαρμογών" to "Program Files"...can i revert the folder's name back to my language..??? Thank u in advance...

Hi Hyllus,

Below is the code for desktop.ini file. You may copy the content below in a notepad and save it as Desktop.ini in the programs folder.

[.ShellClassInfo]

LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21781

I hope this information was useful to you.

Dear Shekhar,

thanks for your answer. Actually, after some research i concluded that the program deleted the desktop.ini file from the "Program Files" folder. So changing to other regions won't help. The desktop.ini is used to provide localization for the folders. So, maybe someone could post the code of the desktop.ini file, in order for me to create a new desktop.ini file. Thanks...
