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.
