In the "Desktop properties" dialogue form there aren't actually any file names displayed.  The "Source Aliases", "User BDE Aliases" and "Connection Aliases" tabs show aliases which represent folders.  These are kept in the inifile in sections named [SourcePath], [UseBDEAliases] and [Connections].  You can edit the inifile but this must be done with dBASE closed.  It is easier to simply use the "Remove" button on each tab to remove the aliases one by one.
