New problem can't delete icons off f desktop. when I delete them they go away but come back in a greater number, I probably have 500 copies of my recycle icon now. Any Ideas? Ive virus checked it with my Norton but also checked it with an outside checker (so I knew it wasn't corrupted)

Hi. I suggest you run eather AD-Aware or Spybot to find and remove any spyware on your machine. You can download AD-Aware from Lavasoft. Have a nice day.
