Roms not removed when they are located on desktop

[3dlollo]

I have the option to remove the roms when I delete an entry in launchbox.

It works for all the systems where the roms are in the launchbox games folder; but it seems not working if the roms are on the desktop

I have a folder with some FBA roms; that I wanted to check; I don't need to add them to my games folder, so I imported the roms and picked the option to leave the roms in the original location (on my desktop on windows)

I deleted games, and I don't get the prompt that ask me if I want to delete the associated rom. It works with all the other sytem, so I guess the problem is in the roms being on the desktop?

Correct.  It's a 'Windows seeing 3rd party software attempting to access special folders' thing.  It might also be a LaunchBox seeing this [type] folder location and saying "I'm not even going to try."   Hence, no prompt.  You'd see the same thing if you placed them in "C:\Program Files\" and several others.  What I've done is created the folder "C:\scratch\".  In there I'll put roms for testing, programs to try out, etc.  I have too much shtuff on my Desktop already (a personal problem ) but also a shortcut to my scratch folder.  Of course when testing roms in LB, you need to point to the actual folder and not the desktop [shortcut] one.
