I have been getting blue screen errors and have been following the
recommended pattern for isolating them. One of the steps is to remove
extaneous programs. Well,I seem to have icons on my desktop that I don't
remember putting there. When I go into Control Panel - Add/Delete programs,
these programs are not listed. If I right-click on the icon and hit delete,
it tells me that only the icon will be deleted and that I have to go to
Add/Delete in the Control Panel to zap the program. Catch 22. How do I get
at these things? Thanks

You need to tell us what the Mystery Programs are in order for us to answer
your question.

Can you tell us what these icons for?
Open a Notepad and minmise to your taskbar, then Right click the icons and
select properties and copy the path to the Notepad. Do this to all icons you
don't know or you want to remove/delete.
Did you run a through scan for malware and viruses on this machine?
Did this behaviour just occured or it is from long time but now your desktop
got busy and going to do a make up op that didn't work because these icons
gone absolute!!!
Ignor the TRoll Impersonating me!
