For some reason, there is a hiccup in Vista that every now and then leaves
behind a shortcut icon on the desktop, even though the shortcut has been
deleted. No worries though, it will be gone after next bootup.

You could try
Right click the desktop > Refresh

Or, if two clicks is too much for you, simply press F5.
