i accidentally downloaded and installed an .exe which created advertising icons on my desktop. i was able to delete all the icons, and delete the start-up executable files. however, there are still two icons remaining on the desktop that i can't delete. the two icons are both IE icons. nothing happens when i hit the delete key, and when i right click, there is no delete or properties option. there is only the option of "open home page", "IE properties", and "create a short-cut". can someone help me to know how to delete these two icons? oh and unlocker and killbox do not work on them either. thanks so much!
