Unable delete a non-existing file

[Guest franktee]

I do not know how this icon got into "my computer" folder.

 

There are 4 options when rightclicking on icon

open

explore

open with ulead photo explorer

create shortcut.

 

 

also tried cpl search and killbox,

but no help either.

The computer tells me it's a non-existant file

 

Appreciate if anyone can help solve this problem

Thanks in advance.

 

Have posted this previously but with less info than this post.

Franktee,

 

You still haven't posted enough info!

 

What icon are you talking about? We can't see your machine from here!

 

Good luck.

Thanks for your response CB

Icon name is, "My Digital Camera".

It's underneath "Devices with removeable storage", located in "My Compuer"

area.

Looked in "Program files" and "system32", but nothing noticeable there.

Hope this is more helpful.

Ok normally to remove some icon from My computer, we need to play with

the registry entries.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

 

over

 

here, you'll find various entries and one of them should remove that

culprit icon, however as cornedbeef007 said that you've not provided

enough info. Please tell us that what kind of icon that is and we may

be able to guide you further.

 

Please ensure that you back up the registry before making any changes.

The "My Digital Camera" icon is installed as part of WinXP.

 

What trouble is it causing you, that you feel this necessity to remove

it?

 

Good Luck.

Hi MG

Thanks both you and CB, for your replies

The icon is similar to the "views" icon thats in My documents section except

that it is on top of a portrait sized sheet of paper with the top right flap

folded down. This is the only discription I can give. Hope it helps.

Thanks again

none of the 4 options are able to help delete the icon.

Re: Unable delete a non-existing file

 

I didn't know it was part of XP. That explains where it came from.

Thanks for enlightening me and also thanks to Mayank.
