Desktop Shortcut Icons are not actually Shortcut Icons
I want to clean up my desktop by deleting some shortcut icons. Each of the icons contains the directional arrow in the lower left corner. However, when I "right click, delete" on any Shortcut Icon, I am prompted: *Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin? *I actually deleted several programs before realizing what I was doing. The wording I was accustomed to in WinXP: *Are you sure you want to remove this shortcut ...* isn't offered to me. I'm running Vista Home Premium 64-bit SP1 -- turnbeau |

Hi,
Vista provides the same warning for shortcuts as XP. I only get the warning you get if I delete a file or program. -- Paul "turnbeau" wrote: I want to clean up my desktop by deleting some shortcut icons.
