Can't remove desktop shortcut.

[Timmy]

My desktop was a mess so i decided to remove all the desktop shortcuts
except the ones i use everyday. I deleted all the ones i wanted to get
rid of but one of them for Sony Ericssons File Manager won't delete,
nothing happens when i press delete on the keyboard and when i right
click on it there isn't a delete option. Does anyone know how i can
remove it?

Here is a screen shot:

Hi

Try deleting it from a command prompt via:

Documents and Settings\<Your Account Name>\Desktop

Failing that, try to delete it from Safe Mode.

Seeing the image, it looks like a special folder (namespace item). In that
case, you should be able to delete the icon using Shell Object Editor, or by
editing the registry manually.

Hi Timmy,
Hope you got your problem resolved. Perhaps you can help me. In your post
you mentioned that you attached "sceen shot" I think you're supposed to click
on F12, but that is as much as I know.
Can you give me a simple step by step as to how to do it and make attachment
that you can send email or to this post?
Thanks,
