Cannot delete useless and unwanted shortcut on desktop in Vista

maybe a refresh problem? try refreshing it or maybe restarting and logging in again

I'm sorry I did not make my actions clear. I already tried a restart and delete. Also a refresh and delete, with no luck. Any other suggestions? Thank you, victor1244

Victor1244...

Looked on another forum and this seems to have helped somebody with a similar problem...the reference is also listed below for you;

"
If the shortcuts were deleted, but they still show up in a search, this simply means that the search index has not had time to update and remove the references to those files.

You can force the re-indexing. Open Control Panel and double click the Indexing Options. Click Advanced, click the Index Settings tab, and then click Rebuild. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

PS: Not sure if that is related...but that is all I could find for you. Good luck;)

Mary2, Thank You, I will give it a try. Victor1244

Great....let us know how it goes.

No problem victor. Hopefully the suggestion from mary2 will work for you.

I have lost access to laptop due to illness. Any further fixes will be delayed. Sorry for inconvenience, victor1244.
