| Guest | Remove or hide icon I have an icon on my desktop (shortcut) for a printer support program. I dragged this into the upper left corner of my start menu (I dragged the desktop icon to the start button). Everything works OK but I have a question, how can I get rid of the icon on the desktop without also losing the shortcut on start menu? |

You can move the shortcut into the "All Programs" area of the Start menu, and Pin it from that location to the Start menu instead. Hope this helps, Shawn |

You can just delete the desktop one. -- Paul "Bob Daun" wrote: Quote: > I have an icon on my desktop (shortcut) for a printer support program.
