    Hello

    The file named SZCCID that keeps appearing on your desktop could be related to a program or process running on your computer. It’s not uncommon for certain applications to create temporary files or logs that might appear in user-accessible locations like the desktop.

    Here are a few steps you can take to investigate and potentially resolve this issue:

    Identify the program: Try to identify if a specific program is running when this file appears. This could be a program you recently installed or updated.

    Check for malware: Run a full system scan with your antivirus software. Malware or other unwanted software could be creating this file.

    Safe Mode: Restart your computer in Safe Mode and see if the file still appears. If it doesn’t, the cause is likely a non-essential process or program that runs on startup.

    Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot to eliminate software conflicts. This can help you identify if the issue is caused by background programs.

    Run Process Monitor and trace the activity in the desktop folder.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon

    In the Filter menu, add an entry for "Path is C:\Users\Public\Desktop". Then let it run and see if it catches the process that is creating that file.

    Here is an example Create File event. Note the process and user that is creating your SZCCID file.

    You can't remove the permission because the file is inheriting it from the folder. That SID may be referencing an account that was deleted at some point.

    You commented: "but it create its self every time i reset my pc". By reset do you mean reboot?

    If procmon does not capture the file creation then you may need to log boot events.
