Windows XP: Inability to delete digital picture icons from Desktop
Inability to delete digital picture icons from Desktop
by rszekely - 5/7/06 11:34 AMI am experiencing difficulty in deleting 24 icons from my Desktop that were downloaded from a digital camera. They keep copying themselves whenever I try a means to remove them.
I downloaded the pictures from a digital camera using Windows explorer, into an email that I sent to a recipient, and myself. From the email to myself I sent the pictures to my desktop. And from there my problem, and no solution from any source I can find.
I have Windows XP Home and use Outlook Express.
I'd appreciate any guidance or help.

Note: Owner could be your name.

Make sure nothing improtant is running, then delete them off your desktop.
