<t>What is the function of Desktop.ini in My Documents Plugin?<br/> I was doing some testing on my FBackup jobs, just to see exactly what each one would, and would not restore.<br/> I saw Desktop.ini inside My Documents Backup Plugin, so I deleted a desktop shortcut to see if FBackup would restore i...
