I have this stupid AOL icon that is undeletable. I don't know where it came from but im fed up with it. All that happens when you right click on it is it says: "Go to Free Trial" and "create shortcut" nothing else. Heres what it looks like:

Well if your OS is Win XP and this icon is on your desktop:
1. Right click on the desktop
2. Select "Arrange icons"
3. Select "desktop cleanup wizard".
You might also look in your startup folder and the add/remove programs application in control panel and see if ypou can get rid of what is calling it.
Good luck :)
It's probably in your personal folders/desktop and is set as read only.
Should that be the case, and you can fix it, then you should probably change that annoying sig line of yours...... just a thought.... :rolleyes:
Wow thanks nihil, I never thought that would do it. and whats wrong with the sig line Tiger Shark?
i may be wrong but i think he meant, that ur signature says that it extracts users who have a clue,or above 0, but since you don't have a clue how to remove the icon, why are you asking us if none of us have a clue either...Quote:
SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0;
0 rows returned;
just a guess :)
im not totally sure, but tweakui might be able to help get rid of that unwanted stuff as well.
well who ever said I was directing at any of you. Its relating to the lack of computer knowledge these days. See here and karmine I already got rid of it with desktop cleaner. I see you a Cradle of Filth fan you might wanna check out my website. http://notimetocry.tk
im pissed because they were in tampa and i never heard anything about it:( so i missed the show, guess i gotta wait 10 years for them to come back to the states
also if you have problems with your host you could always be your own host http://www.apache.org
thats what i do, and im trying to create java menus but i suck at javascript so its gonna take some time to redo my site.
Hi WhiteHat~
The desktop cleaner basically gets rid of orphan/redundant items. Your icon looked as all it did was take you to a website, so that would be considered an orphan.
I mentioned startup and add/remove programs just in case there was something more substantial behind it (which you should have been able to see in properties)
Cheers
