| Re: Deleting orphan icons Where is the icon? In the programs menu, or on the Start Menu itself? If the former, Laura's instructions should work. If on the Start Menu, you need to go to Start / Settings / Menus and uncheck the program, which will put it's icon in the programs menu, then just follow Laura's instructions. If you're seeing this icon somewhere else, please let us know where. At 16 Apr 2009 17:18:43 -0400 Al wrote: > Thank you for response. Sorry didn't try till now.

| Re: Deleting orphan icons Thanks again for sticking with me on this. Just went over previous instructions very carefully, this time, and report that haste makes waste. That is, chubby fingers pushing small keys in a hurry first time around led nowhere. Thanks to Todd and Laura for their help. Issue now resolved.
