I have just realised that in my directory, folders for programs where created. program files and program files X86. These 2 folders are sharing files. I know that win7 uses program file X86. How can I move or stop sharing these files between programfile and X86. The reason is very simple. I would like to remove the program file as I believe it is cluthering my desktop. Can you please help me.

While you haven't said it I will assume it since windows 7 64 bit has both of those folders in them, First one.. Program Files is for programs that are written to run "correctly" under windows 7 64 bit... Second one... Program Files (x86) are for 32bit programs to be installed to since the system needs to handle them differently. (in some cases windows 7 will virualize the enviroment for some of the 32bit programs because they may not have been written correctly and try to install files in places windows 7 will not allow them to. DO NOT DELETE EITHER ONE As for the clutter on your desktop that is another matter, did you accidentally extract a program onto your desktop? If they are just icons that launch programs maybe you need to uncheck install icon to desktop when your installing software from here on (launch icons on the desktop can be deleted without worrying about disabling your programs) Please remember to flag a post that helps you as "answer" so that it may help others with same problems. | My Technet Wiki Article Microsoft Certified Professional, Windows 7 Configuration, Windows Server 2008 Active Directory Configuration
