Flypaper Textures from Adobe Exchange loads on Desktop

Creative Cloud or Adobe consistently places a folder called "Flypaper Texture Taster" on my desktop. I don't want it installed to the desktop. I am running CC2018, Windows 10 current version as of October 17, on a dual core PC with Intel processor.

Even if I delete the folder, it reappears after every reboot.

I've tried searching the registry for "Flypaper textures" or "flypaper" or "textures" to no avail.

How do I stop this from installing to my desktop?

Hello EJToll,

You are getting the folder because you have acquired the product Flypaper Texture Taster from Adobe exchange. I request you to login to https://exchange.adobe.com/addons/my_addons  and click on remove. Once you click on remove it will delete the folder "Flypaper Textures" from your desktop and it will not come back until you install this add-on again.

Regards,

Adobe Exchange

    EJToll I am sorry I am not aware of a setting which will affect the desktop picture for your User account EJToll.  You are welcome to follow the steps listed in Uninstall or remove Creative Cloud apps to uninstall the currently installed Adobe CC software to see if the behavior continues.

    You may also want to consider running a anti-virus and malware scan if you are experiencing unexpected behavior on the Windows 10 computer.

    Jeff, thanks for answering, but that's not my question. I didn't ask anything about my desktop picture. In the embedded screen shot, if you scroll to the bottom, you'll see the folder "Flypaper Textures" that keeps getting installed on my desktop.

    How do I stop this folder from being installed to the desktop without uninstalling and reinstalling 30 apps? This problem has been happening for a while, when certain Creative Cloud progams install, but I don't know which ones trigger the installation. I think it's Photoshop.

    I am sorry EJToll but I am not aware of any functionality within the Creative Cloud Desktop application to do what you are describing.  Did you customize the location of your Creative Cloud synced files so that all of the files are saved to your Desktop?  Can you please post a screenshot of the Folder Location setting within the Creative Cloud desktop app?
