Cant remove desktop Icon/Shortcut

[untouchable61]

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

Try right clicking desktop>personalize>change desktop icons (top right of the window)>uncheck recent places.

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?

Solved! I found it in the "Similar Threads" section.
I should have searched first. Should have remembered that cardinal rule.

Thanks guys and girls!
