Hi,

I have win xp sp3. Some legitimate apps like MS Outlook or NERO Buring ROM
are creating unwanted fixed icons in My
Computer and Desktop areas which I am unable to delete the simple way.
How to delete any unwanted apps fixed icons from My Computer area and its
fixed Desktop Shoutcut?

I have no spyware in my system.

Try installing Microsoft Office Outlook on ur pc, it creates a fixed
shortcut on Desktop which could not be deleted?

I am asking 4 dat kind of shortcuts; how can those fixed shortcuts created
by legitimate software be deleted?


Plz help me.

Oc9ine.

What happened when you followed Kelly's advice in your previous post?
That should have fixed it.

Kelly (not a Mr.) gave you advice on removing using Regedit.
Please read her advice again.

Hi dear,

I need specific point to point advice on how to get rid of those icons
created by legit apps like Nero or MS Office Outlook and others.

Mr.Kelly's advice did not have anything other then checking my computer for
malware or virie.

Plz lend me any specific advice how to do it?

Oc9ine.

Please quote previous correspondence.

Sorry, but what can be more specific than Kelly's advice?
What more do you need than the keys she mentioned?

What point are you trying to make ? There is no guarantee of any
offered advice fixing an issue. If something suggested doesn't get
you the end result you want - rephrase the question.
