Small graphic on top of wallpaper on desktop

[Guest]

I pasted a graphic from an email attachment onto my desktop. It now cannot be removed. When I right-click on it, I get the desktop properties window. The graphic sits on top of the wallpaper. If I remove wallpaper, the small graphic is still there. A search for the graphic file came up empty. How can I delete this nuisance? It does not behave like a shortcut.

Didn't my suggestion work from earlier today

Unfortunately, it didn't. I removed the wallpaper, but it's still there. I appreciate your help.

Is it shown on Active Desktop?
To see if it is follow these steps:
1. Right click empty space on desktop and select
Properties
2. Under desktop tab, click customise desktop...
3. Under the Web tab, see if any of the entries are your
graphic.
4. Uncheck it if it is and/or highlight it and click the
delete button
5. There you go, gone

Hope this helps...

Right click anywhere on the desktop and choose Arrange Icons By...
See if "Lock Web Items On Desktop" is checked. If so, uncheck and try to
delete it again.

Or, right click the desktop and choose properties....
Then click the Desktop tab and then click the Customize Desktop button....
Then clck the Web tab and see if you have anything set in that dialog.
