I recently purchased a notebook full of software I wont be needing. I decided
to uninstall some of it. After I successfully uninstalled all the unnecessary
software, I couldn't delete the short cut icons on my desktop. Have somebody
encountered such dilemna and how can I delete these I cons cluttering my desk
top?

Tigerliit,

Try right clicking a empty area of your desktop and click refresh.
Sometimes the shortcuts are still showing on the desktop even though
they are not really there.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
