Getting rid of a desktop icon?

[***** charles]

Hi all,

I have an icon on my W98SE desktop that says
"Setup MSN Internet Access" and it says it is a
"system folder". I have tried many ways to find
and delete this thing to no luck. Any suggestions?

later,
charles.....

Re: Getting rid of a desktop icon?

This should apply:

(KB 263043) How to remove MSN 5.x icon from the Windows desktop.
To remove the MSN or The Microsoft Network icon from your desktop, delete the
following registry key, and then restart the computer:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{88667D10-10F0-11D0-8150-00AA00BF8457}

Before deleting, right click the key and "export" in the event there is a
problem.
