windows 8 Dead pinned icon in my taskbar. How do I remove it?

[News Bot]

A pinned shortcut on my taskbar has stopped functioning.

When I click on it says,

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or , if one is already installed, create and association in the Default Programs control panel."

The game that is linked to the shortcut is still in the same directory that the error top menu bar points to, and I have since create another shortcut which points to the same location and it is working just fine.

 

The problem  have is I cannot right click on the icon to unpin it from my task bar.

 

Is there a way I can reset my taskbar?

Following the method that I have found on this forum to delete IconCache.db file in the Appdata folder and relaunch explorer. However that yielded no results. Any ideas?
