Hi kittymes,
Yes, that could work, however if you have another Administrator
account you could use it to access the file using Start > Search for
the Filename, and delete it that way. To create a new Administrator
Account go into Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Create...

|| Hi kittymes,
||
|| So you have a shortcut on your desktop for the "Game of Life"
|| which you've uninstalled. Please right-click the shortcut and
|| "Rename" it to deleteme.txt - say yes to the warning about changing
|| the filetype association. Afterwards, you should be able to delete it.

|||| Hi kittymes,
||||
|||| A few questions to help diagnose the issue:
||||
|||| 1. What is the name of the game you installed?
|||| 2. What is the filename of the desktop shortcut?
|||| 3. What file does the shortcut link to?
