mij Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I stupidly downloaded a proggy that installed a shortcut on my desktop which refuses to go away. I have un-installed the program but this shortcut remains saying that it's not located there - but that's where it is..... I have managed to get rid of them in the past but these senior moments are getting closer together I think and I've forgotten how - or they have peeps like me sussed. How is it done please?

mij Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 If it can't be deleted by right clicking it in normal mode try doing it from safemode. I don't get the safe mode like most others --- I dunno why. But I've been playing again and used hi-jack this to tidy up the front end. Deleting much dross that was loading at that point and it requested a restart. On restarting it had gone. Must have got it from on of those sites. Anyway all werky werky now! Cheers jim Quote
