Can't change icon

[KEN]

I have 2 programs on my WinXP desktop with OE icons. Why can't I change
them? I right click them and go to properties and do everything else that's
right but they wont change. One is the AARP program and the other is a
shortcut that takes me to a jigsaw puzzle. What else can I do? TIA.

Why not delete them?

There's no checkmark in the Read Only or Hidden attribute boxes. Any other
suggestions?
