Windows uses desktop.ini files also to store customized settings per folder (not only root folders Robert2 !!)

Greetings--
Oops! Sorry, I was under the delusion that they were removed when the folder settings were cleared. You are right, they are not. I stand corrected. The funny thing about these files is that you cannot readily remove their HS attributes but they can be deleted like any ordinary file!
I was also wrong about the Windows own "desktop.ini" files. Again I stand corrected. This is probably due to the fact that I hardly ever use the Windows Explorer. I use xplorer²

So, Robert2, would you agree that this is really a larger issue re HS files in genereal and any 'resolution' s/b more properly addressed in your archiving apps, where you see the impact

(& winzip has a setting to alleviate "problem" for its content, as JRz pointed out & you acknowledged)
