Re: cannot delete desktop object
Have tried that but all i can do is re-size the object.
I dragged it ther from a website a while ago and recently the picture has changed. Assumingly to the same as the place i dragged it from.
Please help.

Re: cannot delete desktop object
Using windows explorer look in C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Desktop

Do you see this object listed as anything?

Can you get anything by right clicking it?

Have you tried dragging it to the recycle bin?
