Hi delicacy,

[1] If you right-click it, what information do you get?
[2] Is it a shortcut of some kind?

Hi Paul & shortcuts can be deleted manually, not this.
It's probably somewhere in the registry .. .

I don't know what's wrong there. What would happen logically, is that you would be able to go to this location:
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop
Right click in an empty spot, go to Properties, check the Location tab and restore the default one (like here and here). But since your case is looking messes up, I don't know.
