I have a set of icons duplicate identical on my desk. How to get rid of a set?

When I delete the icon as a whole - both icons disappear. All icons are assigned to the user 'public '.

It does not matter, how I sort these icons - duplicates are still there.

I have Windows Vista.

Could someone help? -Lucie M.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!

    (1) a battery pull as shown below.

    (2) If a search for any alert not open or not recognized.

    (3) as soon as possible leave three VM more, if the indicator begins to count, you can probably clear all. (Worst case? You have 4 VM instead of 1).

    (4) call your carrier and ask them to reset your VM

    Let us know how it goes!

    Thank you
