I somehow copied several music files from Musicmatch Jukebox onto my desktop.
I have tried to delete them but they keep coming back. Now I notice that
they are somehow being copied "from desktop to desktop" and I am getting 9
copies of the same music files I'm trying to delete. HELP! My desktop is
now completely covered with these icons. Any help will be wonderful!

Respectfully,
Darla
 
Reboot into Safe Mode to delete them.

To get to Safe Mode, reboot and just as it starts up tap the F8 key. Once
the menu comes up select Safe Mode and when it starts it'll ask you if you
are sure you want to start in Safe Mode, say yes, then when it loads it'll
be a funky looking windows. You should now be able to delete anything you
need to delete. Once finished, reboot and it'll boot into windows as
normal.
