Annoying issue, cannot find another user with this problem. Not even my other systems that I work with. When deleting files from my desktop, the icon does not disappear! It just sits there. So, thinking that it didn't delete the file...I right-click, choose delete again. "Could not find this item". Ok, so I also look in Recycle Bin and it's in there! It was deleted. However, I right-click on desktop, choose "Refresh" or just hit F5...Then the icon disappears! Any suggestions on what is happening for this icon to hang around on my desktop until I "refresh"?Charlie Hawkins

Well, Actually after a boot into Safe Mode(which still was having the problem!) then restarting into normal system mode, it's fine. Now I boot back into Safe Mode again and it's all fine. I guess maybe a registry refresh or something. Anyway that annoyance is all gone now. :)Charlie Hawkins
