dlewis23 Posted July 7, 2008 CID Share Posted July 7, 2008 go into safe mode and try and remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_6985381 Posted July 7, 2008 CID Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yeah simply hit f8 before posting or computer brand shows and select safe mode then your operating system, and then delete the shortcut and restart normally, and your good to go.

Da-Haole Posted July 7, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks much! 1 more question though, Is there any other way of booting in safe mode? I don't think my wireless keyboard will let me use the F-Keys when booting up or do I need to install a wired keyboard before rebooting to enter safe mode? Thanks again.

x_6985381 Posted July 7, 2008 CID Share Posted July 7, 2008 What company made this keyboard? I've never had a problem using the F keys with my microsoft wireless keyboard. If you can not enter safe-mode because the F keys will not allow you to enter safe-mode, then yes please attach a wired keyboard and enter safe-mode then after the restart or you could even choose shut down reattach your wireless keyboard.

xs1 Posted July 7, 2008 CID Share Posted July 7, 2008 Dumb question , but have you rebooted? Sometimes it takes a minute for old icons to remove in vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da-Haole Posted July 7, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 7, 2008 NO! Not a dumb question at all. When I booted this morning the shortcut was gone. I got so use to XP Pro & Vista is gonna take some time to get use to. Thanks to all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all of you! lol i only ask'd cause i found that one out myself the hard way. it also works in reverse order too, sometimes when you download something (to the desktop) it wont show on the desktop right away so id have to go to start > run> desktop and it'd show on that one.

You could just push windows key + r and that will be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted July 10, 2008 CID Share Posted July 10, 2008 How would bringing up the run dialog fix anything? sorry. Not windows key + r. just F5 to do a refresh, or just right click on the desktop and click refresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
