silly icon on my desktop

[Philip Kraft]

I would like to know how to get rid of an icon on my
desktop. it is about 6 inches tall and 1 inch wide. It
came from WinAmp, even though I deleted the application.
it is very annoying to see this large icon.
After i get rid of this I would like to put back the xp
screen with the grass and blue sky.
Thanks

You should be able to click and drag it to the recycle
bin!!

As far as the XP Blue Sky, right click on
desktop>choose properities> then click on desktop and
choose the wallpaper you want.

Hi,

Go to Start/Run and type in desktop. It if is listed there delete it. If
that isn't possible nor applies see if it is listed here and do the same:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace

Right click on the desktop, select properties. On the
desktop tab, select customize, then the web tab, delete
unwanted web item.
