How to remove an accidentally created icon?

Do you know how to remove an icon accidentally created on the desktop - the problem is the "office" and if I put it in trash/remove it, I will also remove the program "desktop", it seems.  Thank you.

Hello

Right-click on it - remove to put in the trash. To only delete the shortcut.
If there is a problem, you can restore it from the Recycle Bin.

  • How to remove particular notification area icons?

    Hello

    I would like to ask your help how to remove particular notification area icons (Windows 7 Professional). I mean, this isn't just 'Show' or 'hide '.

    For example, I want to delete VLC Media Player and Microsoft Office OneNote in the list.

    In addition, I don't want to restore the system icons, because all the icons will be removed.

    Thanks a lot if you could provide solutions step by step.

    You just want to remove the icons, or you want to stop the
    programs icons are to run in the background?
     
    If you just want to remove the icons, but keep the programs running,
    You should check the programs themselves to see if they offer
    you have this option. But if you want to stop background programs
    start automatic and running, read the following:
     
    First of all, note that you should be in * all * programs that
    starts automatically, not only those who enter the system tray
    (notification area). Show not all auto-start programs
    themselves by an icon in the status bar.
     
    On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
    Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
    Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
    Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
    work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
    Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.
     
    However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
    the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
    you, you should be concerned, not with the way * a lot * of these programs
    you run, but * that *. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
    others have no effect on performance.
     
    Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
    is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
    the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
    Internet search and ask questions about the details here.
     
    Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
    decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  • How to remove the Firefox disk icon

    I uninstalled Firefox last week because I had problems with computer (fans) after the last update. Just a coincidence I think because I continued to have the same problems after uninstalling, so I reinstalled it today. However, I'm unable to remove an orange square drive? my desktop icon. I can only take it off if I leave Firefox. After opening Firefox again, I not only to get the icon back, but I also get training install area once again, that is to say... big box with blue and orange Firefox icon dictate to put in my file of the application. If I do this, Firefox re - install once again, and I start over. I restarted my computer hoping that would be useful, but it did not. If it's harmless, ok, but he was never there for the many years I have used Firefox and it's a pain to have to click on the box and also have the icon on my desktop, all the time.

    You're clicking on the stub Installer to launch Firefox after that you already installed. Please remove any installer stub after you have already added the icon in the Applications folder.

    You can then pin it to your doc so that Setup of heel will no longer launch icon.

  • How to remove the bookmarks bar icons?

    I got the icons disposed V28 and before but on update V29, they reappear and I can't find anywhere to remove. I've looked everywhere I can think of and can't find no option to view only the text of the bookmark. Why do you need to change things when they worked very well? I just spent over an hour getting back to what I had. So frustrating!

    Thank you Moses.

    Sorry for the slow response, but it took me a while to finally make it work. I made some mistakes at first, but eventually figured it out and got it right. I'm pretty certain this allows to be replaced by a simple selection in options. So much easier and much less time consuming. I would like to know why it was deleted. In addition, it seems that Firefox to take significantly more memory in V29 what he use to V28 and before. If so, why is this?

  • How to remove or disable the icon/thumbnail that floats above the pointer when you drag a file or folder in Explorer

    When you do a drag-and - d├⌐poser in Solution Explorer, a very large icon/thumbnail floats just above the needle during the drag and a message "Move to .  The icon corresponding to the type of content of the file or the moved folder.

    Unfortunately, it is difficult to see the destination of drag.  Really annoying.  The message "move to...". "or" copy to... ". "relatively small is fine.

    So the question is, how to reduce the size (preferably 0) or to increase transparency (preference to 100%) or gift away with just the icon/thumbnail altogether?

  • How to remove the user created the import presets in lightroom?

    I'm trying to streamline my import process in lightroom and I want to remove the import presets, I created.  What is the best way to achieve this?  Thank you

    The normal route is simply select the preset, and then choose 'delete... '. "the drop (in the import dialog box).

    But if you want a faster way to more dirty, just out of Lightroom, then remove them with your operating system (.lrtemplate files) and then open Lightroom again.

    They are to a subfolder called import Presets (then subfolder "User Presets") in the folder that contains all your preferences and presets, which you can find by using the dialog box Preferences from Lr-> tab Presets-> button "show Lightroom Presets folder.

  • I don't have the money to buy more ram, how to remove programs to get more memory and how do I know which programs remove

    I need of more memory, I can't afford to buy it, how to remove stuff to create more memory and how do I know what programs are ok to remove

    I think you're confusing terms and certainly confuse us.

    RAM/memory (they are identical) is the memory on the computer that is used by programs running as a temporary store for data.  How to reduce the amount of memory used is to close unnecessary programs or does not work as much.  for example close the browser and your e-mail so that the execution of Word program.  You do not need to uninstall programs, run just not, to save memory.

    IF you talk about not having enough disk space to store your programs and data, then the way to increase the free space on the disc IS to uninstall unnecessary programs - only you can decide what programs you don't need.  One way to increase disk space is to make sure you have emptied your Recycle Bin to delete the old data files, you don't want to, and uninstall programs.

    You need to tell us exactly what error messages you get so that we can determine what your problem is.
