| | The Sims 2-can't delete desktop shortcut Hello! I installed "The Sims 2" on my computer but uninstalled it the next day as I have Windows Vista and it wasn't really compatible, but the desktop shortcut is still there. I have tried right-clicking to delete it but a message appears saying that it cannot find the file (obviously because I have uninstalled the program) and asks me to verify the location before I can delete it. I did uninstall the program correctly through the option in "Control Panel" and I did not see any option to uninstall it manually so I'm really stuck! Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

Any help would be greatly appreciated! you can either click on you background and hit F5 or right click on you background and hit refresh. might be a simple fix. otherwise you can always delete the file in DOS, then refresh you background again. |
