Windows 7 - Cant remove desktop Icon/Shortcut

| 11-03-2009 | #1 |
| | Cant remove desktop Icon/Shortcut I recently got a Toshiba Satellite L500 Series Laptop. There is an Icon or a Shortcut named "Recent Places" I want to remove it from the desktop as I do not need it and its out of place. However I'm confused because the only options when right-clicked are: Open, Clear recent items list and Create Shortcut. I tried dragging into the start menu but it is still on the desktop as well. I cant drag it into the recycle bin and I do not know what else to do. Can someone please help me? Thanks, The Noob |

| | Doing that only allowed me to change names, icons and what shows up on default. However the icon is not listed at all. Thank you. Anyone else can help me? |
