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
