I'm new to computing, need help. I put a cd picture disk in my d drive,
viewed my pictures, right clicked [one that I wanted on my desktop] and saved
to my desktop. When I checked my desktop all that was there was a small white
box with a red 'x' within. When I double click, it does nothing. When I
right, I get the dialog box for desktop changes but the little white box just
sits there and won't go away. I want to get rid of it but don't know how. Can
you help me out? Please. Thanks

Hello Mark,
Thanks for the tip. I had already tried that but it didn't work,but as it
turned it was just a matter of unlocking my desktop which allowed me to
delete the unwanted icon. Thanks again for your responce, much appreciated.
