lol more questions...an icon on the desktop won't go away

[Peegee]

Motherboard works (cmos jumper plugged in the wrong spot), and everything is just as it was before, just faster (I think...haven't benchmarked (done benchmarking?) yet). However I think either AIM or ICQ installed one of those blasted 'AOL Broadband!!!!!11' icons on my desktop. Except this is registered as a system icon and I can't delete it. It doesn't show up in the command prompt when I dir the desktop directory.

How do I remove it? Registry edit?

You can find a patch for that kind of thing <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml">here</a>.

Here's a smaller patch. (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/)

:mad2: !!!! Gentoo Linux and gaim?? rawr!

anyway I removed it myself using *gasp* registry edits. I was asking because I was afraid to mess around with it. *shrug*

You can't right click it and delete?

I mean, I can do that to the My Computer icon, so it seems a bit odd that you can't get rid of that.

Yeah I thought so too. It gave me a *draws a circle with a slash through it* icon / picture. Oh well.
