Hi I woke up this morning to an icon on my laptop desktop screen.
It's called deskto configeration settings and after some looking around on the net I found sevealtutorials telling me how I'm not to delete it ut try and hide it.I've followed te insructions but when I go into the 'folder options,view, dnt show hidden folders. the box is already checked...

But when I lick on the icon propeties it says the icon isn't hidden.

Can anyone suggest a link or give any advice as to what the roblem may be?

Any help would be much appriciated. Thanks.
