The following instructions involve changing your registry. Back up your system with a restore point first, then follow them EXACTLY.

Click the Start menu, select Run, enter "regedit" (without quotes) and click OK.

Click the plus [+] icon next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Click the plus [+] icon next to Software.
Click the plus [+] icon next to Microsoft.
Click the plus [+] icon next to Windows.
Click the plus [+] icon next to CurrentVersion.
Click the plus [+] icon next to Explorer.
Click the plus [+] icon next to Desktop.
Click the plus [+] icon next to NameSpace.

One-by-one, click the folder icons in the list below NameSpace.

On the right side of the screen, you'll see in the "Data" column folders with the names of your desktop icons - e.g. "My Documents" and "Recycle Bin". One of these folders will display the name of the icon you want to remove.

Select the appropriate folder and hit the Delete key on your keyboard. Click "Yes" when asked if you wish to delete this key.

Quit out of the Registry Editor.
