Bizarre, rogue icons on the desktop
A couple of rogue icons have installed themselves on my Desktop. Their other infuriating characteristics are:
1. They're absolutely impossible to delete, even via DOS (which simply hangs) - though they can be shifted around on the Desktop.
2. They have no 'properties' - right-clicking on them achieves nothing.
3. Windows Explorer 'sees' them in the Desktop directory, but programmes that I've downloaded for the purpose of removing 'difficult' icons, simply don't work: they just report that the icons 'don't seem to exist'.
4. The icons interfere with the proper functioning of Windows Explorer, which regularly 'greys out' and stops working.
5. They seem to have been generated by GroupWise: they have a GWI extension and they try to open GroupWise when I click on them.
6. Groupwise can't delete them either.
7. Seemingly these icons are looking for GroupWise messages that no longer exist - but this remains a Vista problem, not a GroupWise one.
Suggestions for destroying them will be HUGELY appreciated!!!
