Disable creation of desktop.ini in windows 10 (on the Desktop)

Solution 1:

(Much) Later edit: It appears that this solution doesn't work on Windows10 anymore. Leaving the answer here for reference.

I used the solution found here:

• Press Win+R and enter regedit
• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
• Edit / create new DWORD: UseDesktopIniCache with the data 0

For me, I didn't have the value, so I had to create it. After restart, it automatically created the value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
