>> This is caused by a Reg entry when you have installed Quicken. Instead having you go to the Reg and modify\delete the key I suggest that you re-install Quicken and on installation when it asks you Show Icons on Desktop you should not select it. After install delete those icons as you would normally and once deleted then go back and delete Quicken

The safest way without touching your Reg hive would be as I explained to you above. Unless you know your Reg then let me know and I will give you those keys that you can modify and delete
