Error deleting Icons

[Blackhat]

I am trying to remove icons that are imbedded into the pinup section of my
start menu. These are icons that refer to items which have been removed from
the system. I have tried the "unlocker" program and a VB script that is
suppose to allow me to rename/move the item. I always get an error: "Error
moving file or folder. X Cannot move file: Cannot read from the source file
or disk."

Under "properities" the icons are listed as "'This is not a valid shortcut".

I would try a program like Delinvfile but I am not sure where to look for
these items in the explorer folder heirarchy.

Or perhaps there is a registry key I could kill?

Hi,

Go to Start/Run/Regedit

Navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage

In the Right Pane delete Favorites, reboot.
