Can't get rid of desktop icon

GuruJockStrap · 12 May 2006 at 17:04

No idea how I done it but a while back I created a shortcut for Administrative Tools on the desktop.

Having a bit of a Windows spring clean and want to get rid of it, only it won't let me.

Right click doesn't give me the option to delete and dragging it to the Recycle Bin does work. Running the Desktop Clean Up can't get rid of it too.

Any ideas?

Nope, not in there.

Not there also and delete key doing nothing also.

Yup, still can't remove it.

I'll have a look. Just need to boot up my laptop.

That registry key is there but is it definitly for the Administrative Tools icon?

Also, will it delete it from the control panel?

You're a star! Finally got rid of the pesky thing.

Thank you!
