How can I get rid of the icons on the control panel duplicate

I duplicate several (100's) to be exact "bluetooth" icon on my control panel.  When I click on that it takes me to a screen that allows you to add the "bluetooth devices".  These icons all have the same date/time etc. accept for the name which are numbered sequentially (i.e.  Bthprops<100>. cpl.  There is one which I assume is the original "bthprops.cpl.  How can I get rid of all the other icons/duplicate files from my control panel?

Hi RichardGrewe,

Follow these methods.

Method 1: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

Method 2: Scan the file system (CFS) auditor to repair corrupted files.
