Once I click to run minecraft a small window appears saying "Downloading runtime", then three other folders appear onto my desktop: Game, Native Log, and Runtime. This really annoys me, as I have to keep deleting them after I am done with a session of minecraft. Why is this? It never use to happen before.

It sounds to me like you are running Minecraft.exe directly from your Desktop. The desktop is generally not a good place for executable files, and you shouldn't do that.
To fix your issue, you will have to move your Minecraft.exe somewhere else. I suggest you either move it to
%appdata%\.minecraft, where the rest of the Minecraft files are stored. Or create a new folder somewhere, such asC:\Games\Minecraftand move it there.Afterwards, create a shortcut to the exe on your desktop, e.g. by doing Right-Click > Send to > Desktop, or Right-Click dragging the icon and selecting Create Shortcut
