[PDA_King]

Hi

Is there a registry treak that will allow me to remove an icon from the programs folder,
I recently remove a program from the magican but for some reason the icon is still there, any ideas?

Thankx

You need to soft reset to make the icon disappear. Check with your explorer that the file in the programs folder is really gone first - Windows/StartMenu/Programs

Where is the icon appearing? If it is in the program folder then simply delete it by using explorer \windows\start menu\program.

Hi, have done everything you sugguested,
i even went to the registry and deleted everything that was associated with the program, everything seems to be deleted, the icon that remain isnt the normal icon that is displayed when the program is installed, but rather just a white box with a blue strip across the top with circles and the name of the program under it, if u try to run the program an error notification occurs that the program is missing.

You are descibing what happens when Windows has not updated itself to reflect the deleted program. A soft reset should always force Windows to update. If this is not working for you then try reinstalling the program again and then delete it using the "remove programs" in settings/system then soft reset. If that still does not work then it may indicate that Windows is corrupted and a hard reset may be required.

Wait with hard resetting! You can always navigate to \windows\start menu\programs using file explorer or better total commander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm) and delete the shortcut there. I did the same thing for a orphan shortcut to Egress, which I uninstalled properly from the add/remove menu :?
