deleting a dead shortcut

[climbingrose]

running vista premium home edition... after uninstalling a program via the
control panel add/remove program, it left the shortcut on my desktop. when i
choose to delete the shortcut, it searches, finds no associated program, and
cannot delete it. i am unable to get rid of it, frustrated.. must be a simple
answer?

In addition to Brinks suggestions, you can also boot into Safe Mode and try
deleting the shortcut.

I haven't seen OP or Brink's message but
does 'Refresh' from a desktop right click make any difference ?
