| | desktop icons I accidentally dragged a couple icons from the start menu to my desktop, because I am not yet used to the sensitivity of the touchpad of my laptop. Now I can't figure out how to move it back to the start menu, and since they aren't shortcuts, they can't be deleted without deleting the actual file. |
