• Cannot delete the desktop icon: Network Magic?

  Running Windows 7 64-bit HP.  Network Magic is installed as a 30 day trial when I've upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 (why I've never waited so long?). I uninstalled by getting in pure Networks/Setup...etc; It's, I think I've done the proper uninstall. However, I can't get rid of his Network Magic Folders icon on my desktop. I can't even move the icon on the desktop. Right click gives: open and create a shortcut.  Selecting open doesn't do nothing, shortened by selecting creates a shortcut on the desktop that can be deleted. Suggestions?

  EDIT: Here's an answer essentially the same question (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/3a90c945-1072-4bb7-9afc-ec8df2cee03b).  However, I'm not good in the registry to work, I can't go wrong with it as I don't know if the answer is there.

  That did the trick:

  Delete this key...

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\ {C55C499D-3518-44a1-998E-796AC5FC989D}]

• 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.

• cannot remove the desktop shortcuts after removing related software

  Pavilion Windows 7

  Hello

  Shut down the PC. Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When windows has fully loaded in this mode, see if you can now delete the shortcuts.  To exit Safe Mode, restart the PC and Windows will start normally.

• Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

  I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

  Found a solution to this problem.

  Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
  1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
  2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
  3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
  4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
  5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
  6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

  Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  Delete the existing Partitions during the process.
