Can't delete an icon!

Ole · 26 Feb 2008 at 18:32

I just started using RocketDock after checking out this forum. I love it, it makes my desktop look much nicer.

The problem is I have an icon - HP Share to Web Upload Folder, that I just can't delete! Whenever I right click it the egg-timer comes up and the computer pretty much freezes. It's really annoying me because it is the only thing left on my desktop (apart from recycle bin which I also can't shift!).

Anyone have any idea how to get rid of this?

Have you tried holding down the left mouse button on the icon and dragging it off the dock?

Use Unlocker to get rid of HP Share - http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml

You can get rid of the recycle bin (and any other icon) by right clicking the desktop and selecting 'Arrange Icons By' and unticking 'Show Desktop Icons'.

You can also remove it permanently with Tweakui - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
