I tried to copy a shortcut of a webpage to my desktop, but somehow managed
to copy the actual page onto it. It sits on top of my wallpaper, but
beneath the desktop icons. I cannot get rid of it. It does not show up in
the desktop folder in File Explorer, nor in any of the desktop folders in
the Document and Settings area.

Also my desktop icons are now stuck in place.

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

1. Click Start - Control Panel - open Display
2. Click Desktop tab
3. Click Customize Desktop button
4. Click Web tab and uncheck all the items under web pages

if that doesn't help then:

5. Uncheck "Lock Desktop Items" option in the same Windows and try resizing
and closing that web page on desktop.

Hope this help, let us know!
