Usuall when its saying it can't do that because it can't find it, its already
been deleted but still shows on the screen. If this is the case, you can
refresh or reboot and it should be gone. If it still remains, do the
following. Click on Start button, type in Start Search "Windows Explorer",
right click on Windows Explorer and select Run As Administrator. Then
navigate to Desktop and delete the shortcut.
