I have an old icon on my desktop that I think I have done everything
possible to remove but I can't seem to get it to go away. It is a "Network
Magic" icon left over from some stuff that got installed with an earlier
wireless modem. Everything associated with the modem has been removed from
the computer. There is nothing associated with this icon ...it is just
there on the desktop and annoying. Any ideas on how to remove it from the
desktop? Thanks!!! ...bj
 
Type regedit in Start's search box. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
and see if there is a key under there with a value of Network Magic.

Is this Cisco Network Magic?

Have you tried FileASSASSIN?

Or tried Elevated command prompt and using delete <filename>. Sometimes it
works even if it can't be deleted through the GUI.
 
Thank you!!!

I found the reference in the register, deleted it, ...icon is gone
.....computer is still working. I'm not very comfortable even looking at the
register never mind making a change, but this seemed quite straight forward
....ie, deleting the entry. Thanks again. bj
