Can't get rid of desktop icons

[Guest Martin ©¿©¬ @nohere.net]

Hi

using win xp

My friend was using "Magix Photos on CD & DVD" to create commentaries

on a slide show and each commentary has ended up on his desktop.

 

Now he can't get rid of these icons

 

He did go into the registry through H- key_Local_Machine and

H-Key_Current_User to his desk top icons, deleted the icon streams and

altered the binary codes but they seem to regenerate themselves.

His desktop is a mess of icons.

 

Would anyone know how to fix this please?

The first place is to Uninstall the possible application from Add/

Remove Programs.

 

Then, locate and install a spyware removal tool. These could be

classed as "spywares" but I have not seen these before.
