• Cannot delete the desktop icon! Driving me crazy

  I currently have a Norton Security Scan icon on my sidebar icon list.  I uninstalled the program, I don't know how she even had it installed since I have McAfee and Windows Defender, but the stupid icon won't go away.  I have tried right clicking 'delete', but it says that it cannot find the file, so it will not remove the icon. Help!

  The easiest way is to reinstall the program > removes the icon > uninstall the program again.

  But you can not reinstall norton, as you now McAfee installed as your AV.

  It's updated operating system Vista, upgraded installation and activate Forum.

• ISE 1.3.0.876 - cannot delete the Group of network devices

  Hello

  When I try to delete a NDG I tells me "this node cannot remove because it contains devices or subgroups.

  When I search in the peripheral topic network no devices are part of the group, and it has no sub-groups in this group.

  So what don't understand me?

  Brian

  Hi Brian,.

  If you have checked everything regarding the configuration and we are still not able to remove the NDG group.

  In this scenario, that the problem is although the n group is not referenced for an any Nagels when we try to delete the n group, it will throw an error "this node cannot remove because it contains devices or subgroups.

  The reason for this problem is that previously when n use this group of n, and if we reference out of this group of n, "dereferenced" information only are not updated in the database table and thus causing the issue when deleting GUI. He still thinks as if it has references.

  You may need to open a TAC case for this because it will be access to the SQL DB of the ISE and you don't have access to him.

  Kind regards

• hdiutil detach is not delete the desktop icon

  I write an installation script.  With the help of hdiutil, I am able to mount the DMG, copy the stop bits and then, supposedly, detach the drive.  Detachment seems to be working (the dough is capture of the output log file):

  30/08/16 21:18:30 UPDATE APPLY: hdiutil detach succeeded

  30/08/16 21:18:30 UPDATE if APPLIES: "disk3" not mounted.

  "disk3" ejected.

  However, the installation icon is always on the desktop.

  Is there a way to get hditutil to remove the icon that it put?

  Thank you
