Try searching for [name of icon].cpl and delete that file....I've done it before when the X-Teq systems icon wouldnt go away...and nothign bad happened to my computer...hope this helps and doesnt mess up your comp. Just in case, keep the cpl file in a floppy, so just in case your computer doesnt work, you can copy it back to where you delted it from. Jimmy DeLinco "Hold No Punches.."
