I've been using SCCU (from this thread) to make desktop icons with no text underneath. I've got the hang of it now but starting out I didn't save three icons I created on my desktop as a file. And now, I can't do anything to erase them. Right-clicking just brings up "Create shortcut". Safe mode didn't make any difference. Clicking Delete on my keyboard has no effect. I can't do anything about them, they're just there. Any way to delete such icons?

Oh, wow...apparently if the icon file that you selected to represent the icon you create is moved, you're rendered unable to open it in the program, too, leaving that as a permanent undeletable icon. This program is creating a mass of untouchable useless icons on my desktop that I can't even hide. Any help is appreciated.

This is where I downloaded it, by the way: http://www.herbystweaks.net/diwt.htm

Hi, I was able to delete it using a software called "Shell Object Editor", found here: http://www.tropictech.de/modules/PDdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=1&lid=5

After installing, when you open it, right-click and choose "Expert Mode". It will show all the shell objects on your computer. Find the one you want to delete, located on the desktop, and delete it. But be careful not to delete the wrong thing...!

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
