I have an Icon on my Desktop which seems to be an Internet Shortcut and I can not delete it. On rightclick it asks me PRINT or SEND TO
No DELETE. Any Suggestions? Thanks.

Hi

Double click "My Computer"
Goto "Documents and Settings" Folder
Goto "Your Username" Folder or "All Users" folder.
Click on the "Desktop" Folder and delete the
item if it's there.
