Install, and you'll have an icon in Control Panel (this is an MS app).

You can then remove system icons from the desktop.

[ukha_d] [OT] Windows XP desktop icons Arrghhh!

Category:




Dear all,



Hope you all had a good Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year!



It seems that over the Christmas period some annoying icons have planted
themselves on the desktop! I have had them before and I know they are
advert
icons i.e.



Advertising webhosting, travel, poker, printer catridges, card games,
casino
online, bingo etc.



I do not know where they come from, and on previous occasions I have
managed
to delete them.



However this time I cannot delete them! Nor can I right click on them!
Nothing happens. However if I double click them I can launch them .



I have tried Adware 6, it cleaned up but did not touch the icons.



I looked through my control panel, add and remove programs but found
nothing
relevant.



Anyone got a solution? A part from formatting my machine and reinstalling
everything?



Thanks,



Ho yin
