I have just uninstalled a PC cd-rom game - that seems to be all ok. I now have the game's desktop icon remaining and I can't get rid of it. When r-clicking I take the USUAL delete and remove to Recycle Bin option. but then get the following: "Could not FIND this item. This is no longer located in C:\Users\Public\Desktop. Verify the item's location and try again".

What do I do now? Suggestions appreciated.

I have Vista Home Premium SP2

Right click on it, click Properies. What does it say under Target?Broni - your REPLY came as I was making a further post, quote:

After making my post and and turning off, it occurred to me that rebooting might make a difference. It did - the unwanted icon was gone, although I don't know why that procedure should make the difference.

Seems to be ok now - thanks for your interest.Cool Quote from: silkie on August 16, 2009, 01:22:23 PM
