Re: question about desktop icons

Hi,

A clarification: you do not remove desktop icons with add-remove programs. 
You remove desktop icons by right-clicking them and choosing "delete".  The 
add-remove programs will remove the program itself, so be careful.

  A desktop icon is generally just a "shortcut" to the program, that
  is, it starts the program, but isn't the actual program.  So, if you
  delete an icon, the program is still there.  You remove them via the
  add/remove Programs selection in the control panel.
