Removing an icon in Start Menu

Hi.

I have a new IBM laptop computer with Win XP Pro. I've been loading
programs and configuring the OS.

On the Start Menu there is an icon called "Access IBM." It is located below
the "Help and Support," "Search," and "Run" icons. It's a link that goes to
an IBM program. When I click it, I get an error message: "Windows cannot
find C:\...\Access IBM.lnk. ..." this file does not appear to be on the
hard drive.

The same icon was on the desktop in the original configuration. I deleted
it because I use the Access IBM key on the keyboard to open this program.

I would like to restore the functionality of the link in the Start Menu or,
better yet, delete the icon because I don't use it.

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks very much, Kelly.

I don't want to take up much more of your time, but your instructions are
too unfamiliar for me to apply immediately. Could you elaborate at all,
please?
