Desktop Icon named desktop.ini

After installing SP2, and removing a ton of spyware infected files, I have an icon on my desktop called "desktop.ini"
In notepad it references:

[LocalizedFileNames]
Windows Media Player.lnk=@C:\WINDOWS\inf\unregmp2.exe,-4

This seems to reference Windows Media Player setup, which was run after SP2 installed. How, or should I get rid of this icon?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

MattyG

How about simply deleting it?
