I have an icon on the desktop which was used for connecting to a PSION handheld computer. Having now got no use for the PSION I have removed all the software from my PC. However I cannot remove the PSION icon from the desktop on my PC. It does not want to go to the recycle bin either. Have you any suggestions of how to remove the icon permanently

Download the add/remove program from download.com, it will surely get rid of unwanted installed sofware.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this did not remove the icon. Can you suggest anything else?.

You did not mention which OS...

As a last resort, search the registry for the keyword PSION and backup, then delete any registry keys with that name in the right-hand side of the registry window.

Start --> Run --> Regedit --> Edit --> Find --> PSION etc.

edit the registry and remove anything associated with PSION. Go to DOS and then windows\desktop and erase off the PSION.??? file which puts the icon on the desktop. If it won't erase then do
attrib *.* -r -h -s
then delete the PSION*.*
or whatever it's name is.
Look in the win.ini and system.ini and remove any calls from there especially anything in a load line.
Good Luck
