How do I delete this pesky shortcut?
There is no security info under that tab under properties it seems there is
no way to delete this shotcut file, this is rediculas!!

Can anyone help please thanks steve.


How are you trying to delete the shortcut? It sounds like you're
left-clicking on it and perhaps have your mouse set to single-click,
therefore the game is trying to run. Try right-clicking and then choose
"Delete".
