Since yesterday, there has been three icons/files (showing 0 Byte for each of
them) sitting on my Desktop all of a sudden. When I try to move, copy, cut,
and delete (did everything I could) them, they still remain there. Even
after I used the System Restore to restore to the status of a couple days
ago, they are still there. Can anyone offer me some help? Thanks!
