I was moving a shortcut for Explorer to the Start Menu (like I've done before on Vista with no problem), when suddenly a shortcut for the Start Menu folder appeared on the desktop. Now, try what I might, I can't get rid of it! Has anyone else had this experience, and any solutions?

I have the same problem. I cannot delete or move the folder. If anyone have a solution for this issue please post it.

I find a way to fix this. Right click on Start Menu - Properties. Change the way Start Menu is displayed, clicking "Classic Start Menu" or "Start Menu" and then click OK. The Start Menu folder on desktop now disappeared. Change the setting again to return to normal.

FYI
This unwanted appearance of the Start Menu is cause by putting a shortcut at the top of the Start Menu
