Shortcuts from desktop to pictures keep replicating

I copied some of my images to a flash drive to a SD chip. I did the shortcut on my desktop to facilitate the process.  A week later I notied my desk full of shortcuts for the photos. I deleted about 100 of them and plus at least this number appeared. They will not stop replicating. I can't restore and Norton IS is fine. I ran Spybot and Adaware and no luck. Any ideas on how I can get this to stop?  It is only attached to 1 desktop profile.
Thank you, Diane

If you have not corrected this, but you can try to open your desktop folder (top of your folder hierarchy: in 'my documents' or 'my computer', just keep hitting the button "mounted a record" until you get on the desktop). From there, you can select all the icons and delete them.
I had the same problem - I kept removing about 30 of them at a time and then they reappear when I turned my computer back on. My nephew showed me how to open the desktop folder where I found about 1200 on these stupid icons. He told me how it happened (something about a XP problem) I do not remember, but at least I'll never forget how to get rid of them

    Have tried and tried to remove duplicates. Nothing works!

    =============================
    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to

    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

  • How can I remove my photos from my iPhone while keeping in iCloud? because I'm running out of space on my iPhone.

    How can I remove my photos from my iPhone while keeping in iCloud? because I'm running out of space on my iPhone.

    I want to keep all my photos in iCloud. I want to remove some of them from my iPhone 4 (IOS 8) in order to free up space on my iPhone. How can I do this? Thanks for help.

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

  • Is it possible to remove my laptop from a domain and keep my desktop, documents, settings, etc.

    I want to delete my phone of the domain that I currently part of and make it a stand alone PC. I want to keep my desktop, documents, settings, etc.  Once I'm off the field, will it be possible to connect with the same username (now local only) and do not have to set up my account from scratch again? I know that my files them is not stored on a server and local on my laptop.

    Thank you.

    Once you remove the computer from the domain, the user profile that you use will not be available. However, you should be able to copy the majority of all the menus of programs, documents and other files, etc. to a new log-in.

    Copy a user profile (TechNet)

    Let's say that you used to connect to MyDomain , using Christan as username. If you want to map network drives to the field to your laptop while under a local log-in (can be anything, even Christan) you should be able to as long provide you credentials for the domain user.

    User: \\MyDomain\Christan

    Password:

    According to the security of the domain, you may need to provide these credentials for things like the network printers, etc. as well.
